Better Loan Terms for High-Performing Retrofits and New Builds

Published by BuildingGreen: The Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy loan program (C-PACE) offers low-interest capital to projects pursuing energy and water savings; the loan gets paid back through a special tax assessment. Pretty good deal, but New Buildings Institute (NBI) and PACE Equity have teamed up to make it even better. Project teams committing to higher performance now have access to the Cirrus Low Carbon program, which provides a design specification for commercial buildings based on the ASHRAE 90.1-2019 energy standard.
