Powering The Green Shift

Performance Energy

Green energy practices have rapidly evolved from being a noble aim into a global necessity. The worldwide push for sustainable infrastructure has gained momentum, thanks in part to policies like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). These pieces of legislation have unlocked historic funding opportunities to accelerate energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Central to these efforts is energy retrofitting—a proven method to reduce energy consumption, cut costs, and create jobs. However, achieving scalability demands a dual focus on advanced technologies and comprehensive workforce training.

Performance Energy is pioneering retrofitting solutions that integrate cutting-edge technologies with strategic workforce developmen

The need for cost-effective green energy solutions

Energy retrofitting offers major benefits across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. ,

Economic drivers

Energy retrofitting delivers a substantial ROI. A $279 billion investment in retrofitting could yield $1 trillion in energy savings over a decade. For property owners, retrofitting typically reduces energy bills by 20–30%, while simultaneously increasing a property’s value.

Environmental factors

Unlike new construction, retrofitting preserves up to 80% of embodied carbon, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of property development.

Social impact

Retrofitting creates jobs and stimulates local economies, contributing to broader societal benefits. It also opens the door to the green economy to a much wider section of the population.

When it comes to sustainability, every little helps

Funding opportunities

In conjunction with the technological advances that Performance Energy has made in the field, a variety of federal and non-federal programs exist to support retrofitting initiatives.

Federal Programs

IRA Home Efficiency Rebates: $4.3 billion allocated for residential energy upgrades.
IRA Electrification Rebates: $4.5 billion for electric appliance adoption.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: $27 billion dedicated to emissions reduction.
Weatherization Assistance Program: $3.5 billion to improve energy efficiency in low-income households.

In addition to these, many more federal programs exist. Contact Performance Energy and we can help you find a program that’s relevant to you.

Funding sources outside of federal programs

Green banks and public-private partnerships provide flexible financing options.
Utility programs offer rebates and incentives for adopting efficient technologies.
Private financing, including loans and tax incentives, is making retrofitting more accessible to property owners.

Contact Performance Energy and we can help advise you on the funding options available.

The capital stack approach

Combining federal, state, and private funding streams—a capital stack—optimizes affordability and accessibility, allowing more stakeholders to participate in retrofitting programs. Aligning financial resources with technological innovations, Performance Energy is helping communities overcome cost barriers and reap the benefits of energy efficiency. ,

Performance Energy’s advanced retrofitting solution

Retrofitter BackPack™

A wearable device equipped with thermal, infrared, and optical sensors, enabling precise energy audits and diagnostics.

Retrofitter Lenses™

Advanced headsets that visually detect hidden inefficiencies in real-time, streamlining the identification and resolution process.

Retrofitter App™

A comprehensive software platform that analyzes collected data, guides inspections, and standardizes procedures for consistent and efficient results.

Pilot Success

The Retrofitter™ System has already proven its worth in the field. A pilot project in Georgia, resulted in Performance Energy retrofitting nearly 6,000 homes in two years, reaching a peak efficiency of 35 homes per day.

Workforce Challenges

The scale of retrofitting needed to meet national energy efficiency targets requires more than just innovative technology. Training the number of technicians required to carry out a nationwide retrofitting program is a major challenge. It’s estimated that retrofitting could create over three million job-years in the U.S., however, the industry currently lacks enough trained workers to meet demand. With traditional training models slow and often inaccessible, this is limiting the availability of skilled professionals. Performance Energy has addressed this challenge with a workforce development strategy that prioritizes accessibility and efficiency. ,
