Buildings have a surprisingly high impact on energy use and carbon emissions. In fact, almost 40% of energy usage in the U.S. is due to buildings. Many commercial property owners and developers are interested in making their buildings more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, but many struggle to find cost effective capital to cover these projects. The frustrating part? There are billions of dollars that are freely available in green incentives and financing across both the private and the public sector, but they are hard to find and tap.
EnerYields, is a resource that helps connect property owners to incentives and discounted financing options to fund green initiatives, accelerating the transition to sustainable buildings. In this episode, we talk to EnerYields’ Founder Hetal Parekh about how her company bridges the financing gap. She educates us on the types of grants, incentives, and financing methods that are available for green building projects. Hetal also shares the three step process that building owners should use to evaluate and transition their buildings. This is a great story of breaking down technical complexity to drive sustainable change.
