Institutional buildings present a unique opportunity and challenge to federal and state energy efficiency programs. The barriers to conservation in these public buildings often include a cumbersome purchasing and decision making process, centralized energy payment procedures, and, most importantly, a continuing shortage of up-front funds for capital improvement projects. Providing a detailed description of the concept of a private sector Third-Party Financing mechanism for energy conservation capital improvements in public buildings is the purpose of this manual. The US Department of Energy has provided a grant to the State of South Carolina under the Developmental State Program for Institutional Conservation. The grant, FG01-86CE64608, was awarded to the State of South Carolina through a competitive solicitation by DOE among the several states and territories. Announced as a Tier I Grant under the Institutional Conservation Program, the program was conceived as a means of funding innovative state projects designed to incorporate non-federal resources into the continuing federal energy conservation strategy of improving the energy efficiency of the nation's public and private non-profit institutional buildings. The South Carolina project was one of twelve receiving awards to further the innovative development of state-sponsored activities.
