Program Overview

The upfront costs of energy efficiency (EE) projects and significant retrofits often pose a significant challenge to the implementation of such initiatives in the business, commercial, industrial, and residential sectors.

Numerous financing mechanisms have been developed over the years to eliminate this barrier and reduce upfront costs, thereby motivating organizations and individuals to confidently undertake EE improvements and retrofits. These mechanisms have been utilized by stakeholders such as utilities, government organizations, energy service companies (ESCOs), and more recently private equity firms to fund energy efficiency projects.

This course is aimed at educating participants about the mechanisms and successes of EE financing along with its complexities and challenges. To enhance the learning experience, the course includes several practice financing scenarios and design case exercises. 

 

 

In this course, you will learn to

  • Use EE mechanisms, including on-bill financing, property tax financing, PACE programming, energy service performance contracting, and EE mortgages. 
  • Structure energy performance contracts and pricing. 
  • Sell EE projects and retrofits. 
  • Identify financing options for EE projects.

 

This course is ideal for

  • Administrators of public EE and retrofit programs  
  • Energy consultants 
  • Electric utility professionals
