Funding the Future: Capital Stacks for Energy-Efficient Construction

With the right capital mix, your project can lead the charge toward Pennsylvania’s clean energy future. This dynamic event is designed to help real estate professionals, lenders, contractors, and sustainability leaders navigate modern funding options – especially C-PACE – as part of the capital stack.

Whether you’re renovating or building from the ground up, your project doesn’t have to slow down—just stack smarter. We’ll also dig into a case study to learn WHY they used C-PACE as well as WHAT measures were covered by C-PACE and the BENEFITS to the owner borrowers.

Today’s developers and building owners face a complex web of rising construction costs, regulatory pressure, and demand for sustainable performance. But your project doesn’t have to slow down—you just need the right capital stack. C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing is changing the game.
