    Scope of Services

    Leyton has an in-house group of experts and professional engineers with over 20 years of combined experience in tax consulting and the Section 179D Tax Deduction. Our team has the capability of modeling buildings as small as 50,000 square feet and even upwards of 1,000,000 square feet! We offer complete services that encompass all your needs such as energy modeling, model certification, field inspections, and even audit defense.

    What is the Benefit? 

    Leyton can help you deliver your Section 179D studies by streamlining all your technical needs into one comprehensive, turnkey package, providing expert guidance, end-to-end support, and a single point of contact to ensure efficiency, compliance, and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

    Why is Certification Necessary?

    The IRS requires a qualified individual such as a professionally licensed engineer or contractor within the state where the building is located to conduct the field inspection and certify the analysis. The qualified individual must also not be related to the taxpayer. Leyton can help you meet this requirement by offering field inspection and certification services. 

    What is Energy Modeling for this Sector? 

    Section 179D calls for specific energy modeling requirements and per IRS guidelines, reference energy models must be created by utilizing ASHRAE 90.1 standards and California Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method Approval Manual regulations. Our client’s newly installed energy efficient property is then compared to the reference model to calculate total savings based on annual energy consumption. Based on the assessed savings, a deduction rate of “dollars per square foot” is determined to calculate the respective tax deduction amount.
