Welcome to the ESPC Campaign!
The Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) Campaign engages public sector building owners across the municipal and state governments, universities and colleges, schools, and hospitals (MUSH) market and other market stakeholders to expand and enhance the use of ESPC to achieve significant energy, environmental, and cost savings benefits.
The goal is for participants to collectively achieve $1 billion in measured and verified savings by 2030.
Through U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) technical assistance, peer knowledge sharing, and recognition, the ESPC Campaign works with partners to:
- Increase awareness of the benefits of using performance contracting to increase efficiency, modernize public buildings, reduce utility expenses, and meet lead-by-example goals.
- Share and leverage practical resources to build ESPC knowledge and expand ESPC accessibility across the MUSH market.
- Amplify and implement best practice approaches for ESPC projects and programs.
- Demonstrate impact with measured and verified savings.
With ESPC, facility owners can pay for today's facility upgrades with tomorrow's energy savings.
