PACE Program
Arlington Benefits:
- Increase the energy and operational efficiency of commercial
buildings
- Advance toward community goal of a 75% lower carbon footprint
by 2050
- Increase economic development / local job creation
- Improve resiliency
C-PACE financing helps address multiple hurdles currently holding back building energy projects:
- 100% project financing – hard and soft costs
- Longer term financing = lowers annual payments
- Split incentives – allows pass-through of costs to tenants
- Applies to the property, not the property owner – PACE lien can
transfer at sale
