Building owners, property managers, and board members are always looking for ways to reduce energy costs in their buildings, but often don’t know where to start. Urban Green Council and NYC Accelerator have launched a financing series to educate New Yorkers about the options available to them.
On March 23, 2023, we learned about navigating the landscape for financing retrofits and renewable energy projects. Our panel broke down the barriers to financing your energy upgrade projects using equipment loans and ‘energy-as-a-service’ contracts.
Hear from NYC Accelerator’s Financing Specialist and a panel of market lenders to untangle common misconceptions, learn about these additional financing products, and get actionable advice for identifying financing opportunities.
This is the second event in our Financing Series co-hosted with NYC Accelerator.
