“Performance contracting” is how hundreds of governments across the country are financing green retrofitting of publicly owned properties. Even in this economic climate, large companies offer low interest financing for analysis, engineering and installation of energy saving programs with a guarantee that the work (including interest payments) will pay for itself through cost savings. If the project comes in over budget - you are refunded. Cost neutral at worst, energy savings guaranteed.
