By: Octus, Inc. “Increasingly, commercial building owners are taking advantage of energy efficiency technologies to enhance their net operating income and asset values, differentiate their real estate portfolios, boost occupancy, and command greater lease rates,” said Octus CEO Chris Soderquist. “Five Star Bank was founded by Northern California business and commercial real estate leaders who understand the critical value of these types of measures in managing their businesses and assets. The Smart Energy financing program will make the benefits of energy efficiency measures for commercial building owners immediately accessible.” “The paramount challenge with implementing energy-savings measures has been the availability of capital to finance investment-prudent building improvements,” The Octus/Five Star Bank Smart Energy Financing Program targets projects ranging from $25,000 to $500,000, with simple payback periods of less than four years. In most cases, incentives and rebates from utility companies for energy-savings measures will serve as the down payment for the non-collateralized financing. Octus and Five Star Bank are collaboratively marketing the program, and Octus is responsible for all phases of energy efficiency project development. # # # Octus, Inc.
