Developing Sources and Techniques for Alternative Financing of Energy Conservation Projects for Local Government.

摘要

Identifying financing sources to pay for energy conservation projects is the greatest potential obstacle to implementing energy conservation measures in private and public sector facilities. Local jurisdictions that want to take advantage of energy conservation opportunities often do not have the in-house expertise to determine which financing techniques are available or how to evaluate and pursue those that exist. This research project was designed to provide some potential guidelines which could be used by local jurisdictions in identifying various financing mechanisms and determining which financing mechanisms best fit a given type of energy conservation project. 1 fig., 2 tabs.
