Energy savings made simple.
We are a full service energy-management and finance company, providing creative solutions in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Proposition 39e
Prop 39e (Clean Energy Jobs Act) is a powerful tool that provides State funding for public schools to make energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to their facilities. We provide turn-key energy management solutions to schools statewide.
PACE
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing allows commercial property owners to make energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation improvements with a loan payable through the property's tax assessment. The loan stays with the property, not the owner.
Custom Options
A properly structured financing
vehicle is an integral part of any facility improvement. Through its national network or providers, FNF can create customized financing options tailored to a specific ownership or facility scenario. With a thorough understanding of all facets of a project, we will present a variety of solutions that will best meet your needs. Whether a single financing channel or multiple capital sources, we are committed to finding the best solution for you.
