Hansen, S J

Several factors suggest that energy efficiency projects will need to look to other than traditional financing sources. The author reviews an analysis of financing options for cities, school districts, a university, a community college, and a hospital in which there was a two-year lag in typical bonding procedures. She describes the cash flow potential of several alternative financing arrangements which all indicate that private sector financing will become increasingly important to energy financing in the non-profit sector. The procedures for alternative financing include tax-exempt or municipal leasing, vendor financing, shared savings, third-party or joint venture financing, tax-exempt bonds, revenue bonds, and chauffage. A self-assessment guide considers the relative risks to a specific institution of each option and a guide to identifying key risks and management strategies. 6 references, 3 figures.
