Impact Performance

Impact thesis

The Fifth Fuel Fund ("FFF") promotes energy efficiency and energy conservation by providing 100% financing for energy performance improvements on non-residential properties. FFF acts as a bridge and aggregation vehicle between nonresidential property owners with "cash flow positive" energy efficiency projects and liquid secondary markets demanding scale and standardization. Large scale energy efficiency retrofit activity creates sustainable jobs, protects natural resources, and promotes homeland energy security. Approximately 70% of U.S. energy usage is from buildings. If building energy usage is reduced 20%, it would save the country in excess of $300 billion per year.
