EnFlux Building Solutions, based in Houston, Texas, offers an unusual combination of financing services coupled with energy solutions for buildings, helping building owners invest in clean energy for their facilities.
EnFlux’s products are offered indirectly through mechanical contractors and directly to building owners. For contractors, EnFlux provides financial sales training as well as a web-based platform to help contractors grow their business.
For building owners, energy efficiency is now top of mind due to:
- The desire to reduce their carbon footprint
- Tenant needs for a comfortable work environment
- LEED certification requirements
- The approval of investors
Achieving smart building status requires considerable capital investment to replace old inefficient equipment. However, finding a third party to provide the capital for projects of different types and sizes can be a challenge.
EnFlux says the company has developed a unique platform to finance clean energy projects of any size, ranging from a $20,000 quick retrofit to a $30 million major renovation using the C-PACE program. Many companies provide small retrofit financing. Many others offer C-PACE for large projects. EnFlux does both.
According to EnFlux, the company also provides energy solutions through a unique arrangement with a service provider. Arming contractors with the ability to offer energy supply and demand response allows them to compete with large ESCOs and energy suppliers who are targeting their customer base.
