Please for more information.
Located in Louisville, KY, Dohn Engineering is not just a local Licensed Facility/Energy Consulting firm. We carry Professional Engineering licenses in multiple states to provide the flexibility needed for your projects and can assist nationwide as needed.
We uniquely specialize predominantly in 179D Consulting (and advanced energy consulting) in a way that earns trust with facility owners, architects, engineers, and design-build contractors... our energy analysis greatly benefits from our extensive HVAC design knowledge/experience and unique position in the industry.
Encouraging reduced energy usage, the IRS 179D deduction is now permanent (since 2021). Facility designs can now be planned around it as was the original intent of its creation by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This deduction has now been expanded in 2023 to more applications and higher deduction rates.
Our leadership's background and experience prior to EPACT 2005 & 179d focused on HVAC design / scope development and investment grade energy modeling (performance contracting) with one of the most reputable performance contracting firms in the country.
This experience has molded our team into one of the strongest possible to provide the maximum deduction for your clients. Our high regard for ethics and our professional licensing will give you peace of mind that your certification will be within the law... we like our clients to sleep well at night.
