The Sustainability Committee will explore AB 1103 and PACE funding at its next meeting, to be held from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.
The presentation at the meeting will be titled, "A Primer on AB 1103 and PACE Financing."
AB1103, the Commercial Building Energy Use Disclosure program, is scheduled to become active on July 1, 2013 (a Jan. 1, 2013 start date was pushed back). It requires owners or operators of commercial buildings to "disclose the benchmarking data and rating to a prospective buyer, lessee of the entire building, or lender that would finance the entire building."
PACE, or Property Assessed Clean Energy, is an innovative way to pay for solar panels and other "green" energy upgrades to a building with loans that are repaid via annual assessments on property taxes.
Speakers will be Beth Brummitt of Brummitt Energy Associates, Crystal Crawford of Ygrene (PACE Program) and Doug Kot, U.S. Green Building Council San Diego Chapter.
