We all know Energy Projects are very important to our economy and our environment. I am proud to say that with energy conservation projects - the more we do, the better it is for the environment (this is a rare profession). So, what can we do to increase the number of projects that are implemented? Well, the number one project "killer" is... You guessed it: Lack of Funding. So, this book is all about solutions to that problem.
Many projects must be financed to get approval because most organizations (like most families) do not have cash just lying around so that they can accomplish all tasks at one time. Your energy project may be one of many potential projects from which a CFO must choose only a few to implement. If you can make your deal so that it has positive cash flow, you can "stand-out" from the other projects and become the CFO’s "new best friend." With energy saving projects, another selling point is to determine the dollars that will be wasted with the "do nothing option."
