Funding & Incentives for Building Owners
Funding Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Projects
Help fund full-building infrastructure improvements with tax incentives, utility rebates and grants.
Navigating the complex funding landscape can feel daunting, from finding incentive opportunities to actually securing financing for your energy projects. With billions of dollars awarded annually in tax credits and other options, don’t leave money on the table.
Tax and utility incentives are typically awarded for investments that improve building performance in areas like energy or water efficiency, indoor air quality, grid strain reduction or leveraging renewable energy. Securing them requires proactive planning, dependable equipment installation and precise performance tracking to verify qualification standards are met.
Unlike other companies that only provide or construct building equipment, Trane’s building and energy experts work with you to identify the right solutions and incentive opportunities tailored to your priorities. Once we land on a final project plan, we can design, build and help operate your facilities to achieve your mission-critical goals for years to come.

Tax Incentives for Whole-Building Projects
Building owners have used federal and state tax incentives for decades to drive large-scale building, infrastructure and energy generation projects. Recent legislation, such as the CHIPS Act and IRA, has further expanded tax incentive opportunities. Trane can help you implement infrastructure improvements that may leverage these incentives to enhance building efficiency and increase business value.
What is the Inflation Reduction Act?
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is legislation that expanded many incentives for building owners to support energy efficiency and sustainability projects.
