Hi BP,I'm about to close on a duplex in Rochester, NY and was wondering if the community was aware of any government programs to make the duplex more energy efficient.  

Does anyone know if rentals qualify for the energy efficiency tax deductions for commercial buildings?

The website where I found this info is at:

Thanks
