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
