Bullock, C G; Gaughan, R

Companies may finance energy conservation retrofit programs with their own capital, through leasing or through third-party financing by an energy services company. The authors use a specific construction project to describe each of two common types of third-party program, guaranteed and shared savings, in terms of major features and present value to the customer. They compare costs with those of purchase and lease costs, and conclude that the best option depends primarily on the availability of capital, the technical and administrative risks, and the need for flexibility in future projects. 1 reference, 6 tables.
