How Two Cities Are Setting the PACE: Exploring “Open Market” PACE Programs in San Francisco and Los Angeles

Rich Chien of the San Francisco Department of the Environment and David Hodgins of the Sustento Group will be joining us to share the municipality perspective on Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. Rich and David will discuss their experiences with “open market” PACE programs in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Tune in to learn more about “open market” models, why two of the nation’s most advanced regional energy efficiency programs have chosen them, and how to think about their suitability for your region.

The Yale Center for Business and the Environment is pleased to launch our fifth annual online webinar series. This year’s series will continue Blueprint for Efficiency, with an emphasis on the latest developments and opportunities for energy efficiency in the private sector. Through weekly presentations from leaders in the corporate, non-profit, and public-private arenas, we will explore a range of successful models that make the business case for energy efficiency.

This year’s series is a collaboration between the Yale Center for Business and the Environment and the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE). Founded in 1977, the Alliance is a large Washington, D.C. based nonprofit organization that works solely to promote energy efficiency worldwide through research, education and advocacy.
