Greetings friends and colleagues, 

Last week, Lotus was fortunate to speak with Paul Scharfenberger, the Director of Finance and Operations at the Colorado Energy Office, about the new financing tool being rolled out called Colorado’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“Colorado C-PACE”).  Since many of our clients are interested in C-PACE, we were thrilled to ask him a few questions in our latest blog: An Overview of Colorado C-PACE: A Conversation with Paul Scharfenberger.  

We have recently been involved in some great projects:

• We have completed numerous GHG inventories for public and private sector clients using The Climate Registry and Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emission (GPC) protocols.

• We helped the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) better understand how the Community Solar Gardens Act low-income carve out is being achieved. The report is now available on the CEO website.

• We continue to support the CEO's and the Missouri Department of Economic Development's Energy Performance Contracting programs.

• We are working with Boulder Housing Partners to roll out an energy empowerment project that will reduce energy use through behavioral change.

• We continue to partner with CLEER to investigate community solar projects and with CORE to support the development of GHG inventories on numerous projects throughout the Western slope.

Best,

Hillary and Emily
