tweetLafayette, CO, April 7, 2021—Colorado C-PACE announced today that commercial property investment firm Noble Venture will leverage C-PACE financing to fund energy efficiency upgrades for their 64,280 sq. ft. warehouse / storage facility located at 170 SW 2nd Street in Loveland, CO. Comprehensive improvements to the 45-year-old building will include wall and ceiling insulation, a roof coating, transformer upgrades, and LED lighting. Luke McFetridge, principal at Noble Venture, said, “Nothing is more satisfying than renovating an outdated building with state-of-the-art equipment and technology that results in a visually pleasing, energy efficient structure that benefits not only the tenants but also the community at large. The C-PACE program is key to the success of Colorado’s goals for greenhouse gas emission reductions statewide.”
The engineering services needed to support this complete building overhaul were provided by Efficiency Project Professionals, a full-service energy services company that designs and implements energy efficiency, water conservation and renewable power solutions for commercial and institutional clients.
Jamie Lang, President of Efficiency Project Professionals, said, “Our design analysis shows that energy savings over the life of this project will cover more than 80% of the project’s cost and add 15 years of useful life to the building, a win for the owners, tenants and the environment.”
Alpine Bank, an employee-owned community bank, provided the financing for this project.
