Rosenberg, M

The value of performance contracting is that it helps building owners to implement energy-efficiency measures by providing them with the expertise and financial backing to do so. Typically, the performance contractor agrees to be responsible for engineering design, equipment procurement, installation, financing, and maintenance. The building owner's payments are scaled to actual reductions in energy costs directly related to the project. The report discusses different types of energy-performance contracts, including lease, lease/purchase, shared savings, and energy service agreements and includes discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of each. It also includes information on how to solicit and evaluate performance-contracting proposals and how to negotiate and implement an energy-performance contract.
