Not looking
If you have a high-performing building, congratulations. If you do not, you should consider looking into an energy efficiency retrofit to increase your property value. Helios can quickly analyze your property to create a preliminary business case for a retrofit, which you can often implement with no cash up front and with immediate reduction in your energy bills. Get started with a remote energy assessment using HELiOS Retrofit Explorer. [Button] or Contact us to learn more. [Link]
Project not ready
Through Helios, you can easily discover the energy savings potential of your building and create an initial business case. All you need to get started is to share a little information such as building type, address, gross floor area, and the annual energy use of the building. If you don't know the energy use, we will approximate it for you and provide an indicative retrofit project that can be refined as we learn more about your building. If your building data is in Energy Star Portfolio Manager, you can import it into Helios with just a few clicks and start the discovery.
With this data, we use the HELiOS Retrofit Explorer and other analytics to suggest potential energy efficiency measures and create a retrofit project. From there, Helios can help obtain the necessary energy audits required to prepare the project for financing.

Self Finance
1) While many building owners do have cash they could invest, it can still be very hard for a building manager to get that cash for a project due to competing demands for it. If this is the case, then one of the financing solutions Helios provides could solve the problem.
2) If you are going to finance the retrofit yourself, you may still want to be sure that you get the results that are projected. With HELiOS EE-Assure, we can help you obtain performance insurance to lock in your savings.
3) Depending on your own financial picture, you may want to consider a traditional commercial loan to fund part of the project cost.
HELiOS ESA™
You can fund the project through an ESA (efficiency services agreement), where a third party will design, implement and own the improvements for a fixed term (say 7 years) . You will pay the third party less than your current energy bill (say 90%), and you take no risk as to the energy performance of the project. After the term of the agreement, you can own the improvements outright and get the full advantage of the energy savings for the rest of the useful life (15-20 years).
HELiOS E-Lease™
Energy Efficiency Leases are traditional capital leases covering the entire energy retrofit project costs. The term of the lease is determined so that lease payments are less than the value of the energy savings from the retrofits.
HELiOS PACE™
PACE financing can fund up to 100% of project costs with a term of up to 20 years. In addition to energy efficiency measures, PACE can fund solar, water, seismic, and other aspects of retrofits. Contact Helios to find out more.
