3. Property Assessed Clean EnergyWho? What? Where? When? Why? How? • PACE methodology allows for a political subdivision (Clean Energy Development Board) to finance the cost of installing energy efficiency or renewable energy improvements on private property. • No upfront payment by property owner • Participants repay the costs of the installations through a assessment on their property tax bill. • A lien attaches to the property secures the repayment obligation. Lien passes with title. Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission

4. Property Assessed Clean EnergyWho? What? Where? When? Why? How? Removes historical barriers to energy efficiency and renewable energy installations: • Eliminates initial capital requirements; replaced with yearly payments that correspond to the lifespan of the installation. • Will be accessible to residents and businesses of all income levels. • Will incorporate both energy efficiency and renewable upgrades to properties. • Will be sustainable, scalable, and flexible; it will be self sufficient with little to no public financial support Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission

11. Eligible MeasuresWho? What? Where? When? Why? How? "Energy efficiency improvement", any acquisition, installation, or modification on or of publicly or privately owned property designed to reduce the energy consumption of such property, including but not limited to: • Insulation in walls, roofs, attics, floors, foundations, and heating and cooling distribution systems; • Storm windows and doors, multiglazed windows and doors, heat-absorbing or heat-reflective windows and doors, and other window and door improvements designed to reduce energy consumption; • Automatic energy control systems; • Heating, ventilating, or air conditioning distribution system modifications and replacements; • Caulking and weatherstripping; • Replacement or modification of lighting fixtures to increase energy efficiency of the lighting system without increasing the overall illumination of the building unless the increase in illumination is necessary to conform to applicable state or local building codes; • Energy recovery systems; and • Daylighting systems Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission

12. Missouri Model Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? “on July 12th, 2010 Missouri became the 23rd state to pass PACE-enabling legislation.  Why is this good news, you ask?  Well, for three reasons (at least): • Missouri voters have correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential election (save for two, 1956 and 2008) since 1904. Perhaps Missouri will once again be a bellwether, this time for PACE at a national scale? • Missouri’s a long way from Berkeley. The passage of PACE in Missouri is an indicator that PACE is a concept that transcends political, geographical, and social lines.  We’ve seen this highlighted in other states as well, but this recent news reinforces the trend. • Missouri’s bankers backed PACE. A source close to the effort told me that participation from the local banker’s association was critical to getting the bill pushed into law, going as far as saying that their participation was “the only way [the bill] got passed.” Source: Huffington Post Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission
