A Turnkey Approach to Project Development

As a licensed general contractor in California, our vertically integrated approach covers everything from identifying opportunities and obtaining financing, to construction management and measurement and verification—boosting your building’s asset value without any capital.

Assessment & Analysis

Gridium conducts a free preliminary assessment (ASHRAE I) and benchmarks building performance.

Design, Engineering & Financing

Gridium conducts an investment grade audit (ASHRAE II), and finalizes proposal for scope of work (including bid leveling), savings calculations & financing.

Construction Management

Gridium purchases equipment, provides construction financing, and manages all phases of construction as project owner.

Measurement & Verification

Loan repayment begins on bill (continues through loan term), while ongoing project savings are measured and verified.

Unlock Project Funds with On-bill Repayment

Capital constraints are making buildings obsolete. We leverage California’s cutting-edge on-bill repayment programs and our own debt to finance your efficiency projects TODAY with no upfront costs.

Bill-neutral, with Zero CapEx

  1. Gridium funds the construction upgrades upfront for you.
  2. Your utility company bills you at a low (or no) interest rate over the payback period, OR we secure private financing at a market interest rate.
  3. Your project savings are offset by a line item added to your utility bill. This enables favorable recovery, no impact to your debt or property tax, and transferability to future owners.

How On-bill Programs Build Value

Total cash flow (expenses plus capital) remains the same through the estimated payback period. The result? A building with lower expenses and a lower carbon footprint—all with no capital expense.

More Benefits

Better tenant spaces

Tenants love upgraded lighting and these projects can make it easier to diagnose hot/cold calls, improve comfort, and make space easier to lease.

Modernized, efficient operations

Upgraded digital controls enhance efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness, and offer insights for further optimization.

Trusted savings with reliable M&V

Our market-leading measurement & verification technology means trusted savings. In many projects, our analytic measurements establish the incentive payment.

Your wishlist projects, achieved

Upgrading RTUs and installing LEDs, converting to DDC or deploying modern electric motors – most energy-related projects with 10-year (or faster) paybacks are eligible.
