Employers want to create a safer work environment for their employees as they return to work. According to the CDC, one way to do this is to improve air quality with energy efficient mechanical ventilation systems. That is why SEF is now providing 100% upfront financing for the redesign and installation of these systems, including the installation of Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) and Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems. These systems increase ventilation and provide fresh air flow throughout your building, which has been shown to help prevent access to airborne illnesses.
C-PACE, or Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy, is a financing tool that enables building owners to obtain low-cost, long term financing for energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy projects.
