Energy Savings and Financing for Commercial Properties
Energy efficiency efforts are an extremely important method for reducing energy costs and increasing the viability of solar installations. The Energy Savings and Financing Tool for Texas Commercial Properties, from the Houston Advanced Research Center, is an interactive tool to help owners and operators of small to mid-sized commercial properties in Texas explore potential cash flows and financing scenarios (including Texas PACE) associated with implementing energy saving measures.
This tool is designed to help private property owners build a business case for financing energy and water efficiency projects for small to mid-sized commercial properties whether you've done an audit or not. It also provides a guide that outlines the steps that owners and operators of small to mid-sized commercial buildings can take to develop, finance, and implement clean energy projects that save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create a healthier and more productive work environment.
There are two ways to use the tool: Use Audit Results to input potential energy measures, savings, and costs. Build Your Own savings estimate and identify financing opportunities.
