Investments in sustainability are no longer considered “add-ons” to campus operations or administrative budgets. Tools such as life cycle costing, third-party financing, and the more recent stimulus funding are enabling institutions to meet their sustainability goals while saving money.
During this webinar our experts will discuss the budgetary aspects of sustainability. We’ll show you how to use life cycle costing to prioritize initiatives, and how to search out potential rebates, grants, and stimulus dollars. This online event will cover:
-
Establishment of revolving loan funds for sustainability.
-
Government and utility tax incentives and rebates.

Student self-assessed fees.
