How C-PACE Can Unlock Billions of Dollars of Investment in Clean Construction Materials
Introducing RMI’s C-PACE Clean Construction Materials Cohort
Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) loan programs have enabled $9 billion of low-cost financing for clean energy and energy efficiency measures in commercial real estate in 25 US states and cities. A few small tweaks to C-PACE financing rules could similarly unlock billions of dollars of investment in clean construction materials and practices.
This informational webinar seeks to convene a new C-PACE Clean Construction Materials Cohort, launching in 2025. The session provides an overview of the cohort structure, goals, and participation benefits, while making the case for why embodied carbon should be integrated into C-PACE financing. It offers attendees a foundational understanding of how embodied carbon can fit within the scope of C-PACE programs, highlights emerging policy and market drivers, and outlines pathways for launching near-term pilot projects with RMI’s technical guidance and support.
Who Should Attend: The webinar is intended for program administrators, green banks, state energy offices, capital providers, policymakers, consultants, and real estate developers interested in expanding the positive economic and environmental impacts of their C-PACE programs.
RMI is revolutionizing energy usage in buildings, the largest contributor to pollution globally. We partner with governments, businesses, real estate decision makers, and NGOs to advance US commercial and residential building decarbonization policies, codes, financing, and innovative technologies. We research, test, and accelerate solutions that improve new construction and retrofits to reduce pollution, lower energy costs, and enhance health and resilience for all.
