Core Values Energy project implementation does not necessarily require new outside funding. Not all innovative energy improvements work well or help counties save money. It’s up to us to find the strategies that work better, cost less, and perform better.

Residential Energy Efficiency Financing—What’s Next?

Residential EE Finance: What Problem Are You Solving?
• Today, most people pay for improvements with cash. Just 10% of upgrades are financed through programs & ~30-40% overall
• There are already products in the marketplace. Some are expensive, but most are easy to use and contractors often buy down the interest
• You have to want EE to want financing for it. Many people just aren’t interested in the hassle, or aren’t willing to invest $8-15k

Opportunities for Increasing Capital Access
30-40% of loan applicants are rejected in major programs
today.
• Credit Enhancements. Share in the cost of lender losses in the event of loan default
• Alternative Underwriting Criteria. Utility bill repayment history as an alternative indicator of creditworthiness
• Innovative Financing Tools • But, underwriting criteria exist for a reason. Ensure that
those that get access to financing are willing and able to repay it.

Innovative Financing Tools
• On-Bill Financing. On bill repayment may reduce loan default. Meter-attachment may further reduce non-payment
• Deferred Loans. Some households do not have the capacity to make principal and interest payments
• Paycheck-Deducted Loans. Repayment through regular, automatic deductions from an employee’s paycheck
• Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). Significant regulatory hurdles remain.

Aggregation Tools?
• Access to secondary markets being viewed as ‘holy grail’. Billions of $ necessary to upgrade the housing stock. But, EE demand not access to mkts the KEY barrier today
• Local, socially-interested, lenders offering more attractive financing. Lower rates, longer terms, more lenient underwriting. Is this enough to ‘prove performance’?
• How much will we have to pay to ‘bribe’ currently-disinterested investors?

Looking to 2012 and Beyond
• Shift from comprehensive-only focus. Increasing attention towards basic improvements and reactive strategies to drive demand
• Where will the $ come from? Utility customer-funded program budgets for residential EE will average $770 million over the next decade
• What role for local governments? o Trusted messengers o Program partners for local financial institutions (e.g. CDFIs,
credit unions) o Policy implementers (e.g. time of sale or renovation energy
codes) o Coordinators of social service delivery (e.g. housing rehab +
EE)

Affordably & quickly identify commercial building retrofit needs paid by utility savings
Background: Mark Johnson, while at the U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, DC, worked on a ‘show and tell’ energy loss and project utility savings paid from energy savings:
-ASHRAE energy audit
-EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager
-Infrared thermography
-Retrofit recommendations
-Utility cost savings projections
-Paid by utility savings [ESPC]

Success stories: Agilent strengthens it’s bottom line At a Glance
$19.5 million — Real estate savings that Agilent Technologies has achieved as a result of working with Johnson Controls since February 2006.
$4.9 million — Operational expense savings generated in a seven-month time frame as a result of numerous supply chain and facilities management improvements and efficiencies.
2.6 million — The square-foot reduction in Agilent’s global real estate portfolio as a result of more efficient and productive real estate management, and taking advantage of consolidation opportunities.
We truly appreciate the remarkable speed in which Johnson Controls reacted to our request for savings and the spirit demonstrated by the entire Johnson Controls account team in rising to the challenge. Neil Rees, Vice President, Workplace Services, Agilent Technologies, Inc.
