Positive cash flow financing in the institutional sector: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6495991
The economics of energy management has prompted a surge of private investment in institutional energy conservation efforts. Purpose of the Positive Cash Flow Financing in the Institutional sector project is to establish some management criteria for internal assessment of relevant conditions for energy financing and to aid institutional administrators in selecting the best financial options available. The project's research design included the selection of three sites and an assessment of energy efficiency financing conditions in three institutions at each site and at the state level. The analysis examined the financial and governance structure, energy cost and consumption, replication potential, opportunities for alternative financing, and the potential for a community-wide cooperative effort. Morgantown, West Virginia, was selected as the primary research site and the developmental work was conducted at West Virginia University (WVU). The City of Morgantown and the Monongalia County Board of Education served as sites to assess the replication potential. The verification sites were Dearborn, Michigan, and San Angelo, Texas, where the local governments, school systems, a college, and a hospital were studied.
