In states where the requisite PACE legislation has been passed, Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing (CPACE) provides building owners and property developers with a way to obtain private financing not only for energy efficiency upgrades, but for seismic resilience projects as well.
To explore this topic, CREW hosted a webinar on July 28, 2022.
