Energy Savings Performance Contracting
While Energy Savings Performance Contracts have seen a tremendous growth over the past 10 years due to the advancement of energy efficient technology , financing options and government initiatives they are still considered widely untapped resources for government owned buildings. Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC or ESC) are a progressive approach to reducing energy usage in municipal, university, school , and hospital system (MUSH) buildings thus reducing cost to taxpayers. This process consist of replacing outdated, inefficient building components such as light fixtures and HVAC mechanical systems with new, efficient systems and using the energy cost savings to pay for the upgrades over time. Typically there are no out of pocket expenses for the building owner, as there are a variety of government and private resources to fund the upfront improvement costs.
