The U.S. Department of Energy recently introduced Better Buildings Financing Navigator Version 2.0.
The improved, updated online tool connects users to proven approaches and professional connections needed to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Version 2.0 includes renewable energy financing options, sector-specific and location-specific financing resources, a smart database of financing providers that can be searched and filtered, updated market data, and more.
Users can now search by topic or answer a few questions to get tailored results. Easy navigation for white papers, technical research, and best practices collected from the industry is provided.
Version 2.0 also has sophisticated features to connect to the Better Buildings Financial Ally community that includes banks and lenders committed to bold investments in energy.
These financiers have collectively funded more than $12 billion in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects since 2012. This database is searchable based on products offered, sectors served, technology types financed, and region served.
