Description: Many energy experts and policymakers puzzle over the so-called "energy efficiency gap," or "energy paradox"—the fact that homeowners and businesses fail to undertake investments that appear to more than pay for themselves in future energy savings. At this RFF First Wednesday seminar, four panelists discussed the role that financing can play in improving the energy efficiency of buildings. They addressed opportunities for private financing of energy efficiency investments and analyzed barriers that exist in private markets. They also described recent government loan programs and credit enhancements, many established with federal government stimulus funds, and evaluated their performance to date. Additionally, speakers offered their insights on the importance of financing as a tool for closing the energy efficiency gap.
