[Bldg-sim] EPact 2005 tax savings

[David S Eldridge]

Through Green Building Studio yes, except the current version of GBS 3.4 is not on the list either, although it is submitted for approval.  Same boat for EnergyPlus...version 3 is not listed.

Hopefully these will be reviewed soon!

As I remember, Green Building Studio (GBS) is on the list. Since GBS runs eQUEST (and other software?) behind the screen, can the tax credits be granted if the building performance simulation is conducted by eQUEST through GBS. I'm a bit confused here. Can anyone shed light on this issue?

Epact 2005 tax credits were extended to 2013 in the recent "Stimulus Package."

I'm looking at a page on the DOE web site that lists approved software used obtain Epact 2005 tax credits, and I notice eQuest is not specifically listed. DOE-2.1 is listed however. Does anyone know if eQuest will be acceptable for EPact 2005 simulations?

The link to the list is given above.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
