Providing stellar patient care and a comfortable treatment experience requires a sustainable, modern, safe, and efficient healthcare facility. Improvements to infrastructure and fixtures may be necessary to ensure your space protects the health of patients and staff. But funding these projects is often a difficult task for healthcare facilities – that’s where the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program comes in.
What is C-PACE?
C-PACE is a financing option for clean energy projects that is enabled in many states. For healthcare facilities, securing C-PACE financing solves the upfront cost barrier by providing 100% financing for your healthcare project. This financing option helps overcome procurement hurdles, enabling large-scale energy savings initiatives, and implementation of turnkey projects to meet high priority facility needs. It also helps you create a long-range facility roadmap to benefit your patients and staff through a process made simple for healthcare administrators. Currently, C-PACE financing is offered in over 30 states across the United States, as outlined below.
When partnering with SiteloqIQ (SIQ), the C-PACE application and procurement process is simple and includes:
Step 1: SIQ works with you to develop a customized solution.
Step 2: SIQ coordinates C-PACE approval and funding for the project.
Step 3: SIQ implements the approved project, creating a more energy efficient and healthy facility for patients and staff.
Step 4: You have decreased your carbon footprint, addressed deferred maintenance, and increased the facility’s value.
Let our experts help to make this a simpler, more efficient application process.
Benefits for Healthcare Systems
The quality of your hospital or healthcare system can greatly impact the health and safety of your patients, nurses, doctors, and staff. C-PACE financing is a great option to finance projects that allow you to create a space for excellent patient care. Some advantages include:
- 100% Financing – There are no upfront payments, enabling facility owners to pay off large infrastructure upgrades over longer terms.
- Large Funding Availability – C-PACE legislation enables available financing at approximately 20%-25% of the Property Assessed Value (Flexible Balance Sheet Treatment).
- Improvement Options – It covers many types of improvement opportunities for both infrastructure improvements and energy savings measures.
C-PACE financing supports projects that help to address deferred maintenance challenges, advance sustainability objectives, reduce carbon footprint, and improve building conditions and resilience – all of which can allow you to provide better patient outcomes.
Whether you’re looking to improve your facilities’ energy efficiency through lighting upgrades or improve your indoor air quality, C-PACE may be the right fit to finance these projects.
