Best Practices

• Market education and sales support is essential to

generating and originating new projects

• The PACE process must be standardized and streamlined

for many owners

• A project leader should be clearly designated

• Uniformity is important across a service area

• PACE should be incorporated into the existing

commercial real estate ecosystem of lenders and

contractors

• Companies that administer program for municipalities

can work with motivated local building owners to expand

municipal markets

Remaining Challenges and Unsettled Issues

• Administration costs may influence type of

projects delivered

• New programs need to develop program

materials, but also need to quickly move into

selling and developing actual projects

• Data collection and M&V of savings are

cumbersome, but critical to investor confidence
