Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Underwriting

Property and proposed energy efficiency capital improvement evaluations to understand risks for financing, lending, securitization, or project feasibility purposes.

Overview

Energy efficiency and renewable energy project underwriting (including financial analysis) from a financial and green building expert to help organizations understand capital intensive projects and how they relate to risk management and common underwriting concepts.

Details

The financing of capital intensive energy efficiency and renewable energy projects has suffered from the lack of qualified experts that understand how to use traditional underwriting methods for these type of projects. We have partnered with Colorado Appraisal Consultants, a full-service real estate valuation firm, to provide underwriting for the purpose of evaluating the risks associated with financing these projects.

It is important for lenders and investors to understand capital improvements within the realm of the borrower and property when considering energy efficiency.

Our energy efficiency underwriting capabilities evaluate all relevant components of the project, such as:

• Building value
• Project value to cost
• Typical financial measures as they relate to the project (ROI, IRR, breakeven, NPV, etc.)
• Overall financial/risk assessment of the project
• Proposed/current financing structure (building & EEC’s considered separately)
• Property characteristics (market value of the property, strengths and weaknesses, etc)
• Proposed energy efficiency improvements
• Performance risks
• Market sentiments
• and more…

Our underwriting will provide an expert opinion as to the risk and feasibility for repayment of financing related to building improvements.

What Our Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Underwriting Is

• A risk assessment for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
• Performed by a Certified General real estate appraiser with substantial valuation expertise and/or an MAI (Member Appraisal Institute)

What We Need to Get Started
