by Shane Henson — March 7, 2012—Sustainable Real Estate Solution Inc. (SRS), a provider of on-demand building energy assessment and proprietary benchmarking software, has sponsored a new whitepaper, Energy Efficiency Retrofit Financing Options for the Commercial Real Estate Industry, available for free download.
Published by Building Energy Performance Assessment News (BEPAnews), which was created to keep commercial real estate professionals and those servicing the commercial real estate industry informed on energy-related issues impacting property, the report is the seventh in the Critical Issues Series.
According to SRS, the paper discusses innovative, “market-ready” financing mechanisms that are supported by new tools that significantly reduce the financial underwriting risk. It also describes how these solutions solve the underwriting issues that have delayed large-scale market adoption of commercial property energy efficiency investment.
“SRS is proud to sponsor this research paper that provides commercial building stakeholders with the insight needed to accelerate energy efficiency retrofits and unlock the full potential to monetize energy savings opportunities,” noted Brian McCarter, SRS CEO. He added, “These new best practices have overcome most if not all the technical and financial underwriting obstacles thereby allowing building owners to obtain attractive financing for energy efficiency projects. Furthermore, these recent developments will enable energy retrofit financing to become a mainstream financial asset class with a high degree of standardization, predictability and scale.”
