Better Buildings: Financing Navigator

Better Buildings: Financing Navigator

  • The Assignment

    • The U.S. Department of Energy wanted to develop an online tool to help public and private sector organizations find financing solutions for clean energy projects.
    • Energy financing is a notoriously difficult topic—with dozens of options, hundreds of providers, and a diverse array of pros and cons.
    • DOE wanted to distill this information into a digestible, interactive online experience for a non-technical audience that could be explored in minutes rather than hours.
  • The Solution

    • RE Tech designed the Better Buildings Financing Navigator, a first-of-its-kind tool that makes understanding and pursuing financing easy.
    • Users can explore the financing options, answer questions to get matched to options that might be a good fit, and connect directly with financing providers.
    • Users are gradually introduced to difficult finance concepts through dynamic diagrams, tables, and charts—making the information accessible to all audiences.
    • The Navigator has been adopted widely, with more than 30,000 unique users and endorsements by major organizations including state governments, utilities, Fortune 500 companies, and educators.
