Energy Credit?

[thomtax]

Client had a roof put on non-residential rental property. The company that makes the roof has told them that the product qualifies for an energy credit. Client is going back to them to see about getting a certificate showing qualification.

I have gone through the Deluxe TTB looking for handling of this. However, all I can find are references to residential energy credits. Is there not a credit available for non-residential rental property? This is not in a corporate or partnership - it is an individual return in case this affects handling.

If there is a credit available, can you please point me to discussion on it?

Thanks,

I recall reading

that there is a credit for (business?) that installs a Metal roof. You may want to check this out.
