No, you are not able to claim the Energy Efficient credits because you are not the owner of the property.
From Expert DaveF1006:
"All IRS documents assume that the Homeowner is claiming residential energy credits although it may be specifically addressed in its documents. Some credits can be claimed if the residence is their principal residence and some can't if they don't live in the residence. For an example, read this IRS link that references improvements that can be claimed by homeowners. Also, refer to this link and read the bottom of it, it refers to homeowners.
One thing is apparent, IRS does not make it easy to determine who is really eligible to take the credit. The wording in these documents is very confusing but as a tax expert, I am 100% sure that only the homeowner can take the credit."
