About the program: Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) is a financial tool for property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficient equipment, renewable energy, and water conservation projects.
If you are a commercial building owner in the City of Philadelphia, you may be required to comply with a recent regulation called the Building Energy Performance Program (BEPP). This ordinance requires owners of buildings over 50,000 sf to do a "building tune-up" every 5 years. The tune-up is a review of maintenance and operations of primary energy using equipment like HVAC and lighting. The deadline for buildings over 100,000 sf is coming fast - September 30, 2022.
An investment is being made not only in alternative fuels, but the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles, fleets, and technologies.
