OSTI ID:6762018

It was the purpose of this initiative to combine the resources and expertise of national and local organizations in a concerted effort to develop and demonstrate model community-based financing programs designed to increase hospital access to private sector capital for energy saving investments. The joint national-local initiative focused on providing two demonstration-site communities with expertise, technical assistance, and seed development funds to aid in achieving the following objectives: accumulating data to determine the level of investment opportunities and to build confidence in the financing process; identify and verify the actual cost savings as a result of the project; identifying and gaining access to moderate-cost capital sources; securing permanent local support for the community-sponsored energy financing program; and publish the result of the energy-saving project and financing model for health care industry.
