The Pitch

The C-PACE industry is helping commercial property owners reduce their energy and water consumption and make their buildings safer and more resilient. The industry has grown to over $2 billion in financings across 2,500+ properties- while reducing millions of tons of future CO2 emissions.

C-PACE is a large-scale commercial real estate financing opportunity. The C-PACE industry benefits from a concentrated effort, founded on shared experiences and values.

Commercial PACE is distinct from residential PACE, with different customers, different types of financing structures, and a different business model.
Commercial buildings account for 20 percent the nation’s primary energy consumption. The sector is ripe for radical transformation – not just to reduce CO2 emissions and improve life-safety building conditions, but to bolster the bottom line of commercial real estate and small business owners.
Specific, common standards in C-PACE origination, underwriting, closing, administration, and securitization are vital to ensuring a vibrant open market for C-PACE financing.
State laws and local C-PACE programs can face significant hurdles if they do not adopt best practices in statutory and program requirements, including cost-effective program administration.

Help shape the future of C-PACE financing and join the industry’s leading national association.
