Evaluating GHG Mitigation Potential from ESPC Projects

Summary

The U.S. public buildings sector faces the challenge of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This report evaluates the potential of Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) projects to mitigate these emissions by analyzing nearly 3,000 implemented projects. The findings indicate that ESPCs are a valuable tool, with approximately two-thirds of projects delivering positive net benefits and federal projects proving most cost-effective, though overall emissions reduction potential could be doubled with targeted investments.
