Energy Tax Credit

I had previously asked if I had to ITEMIZE to claim energy tax credit but was answered with how to document it when filing taxes. Can someone answer the original question of whether I must ITEMIZE or if I can use the shortform?

No, you do not need to itemize your deductions in order to claim the credit for energy efficiency property. I see that your question is regarding a heat pump. There is a $500 maximum lifetime limit to this credit.
