Matt Zipchen

President, Efficiency Capital

Chandra and Matt have championed Efficiency Capital’s third-party private partnership model, whereby they invest in, own and operate efficiency upgrades in clients’ buildings for service fees, thus solving the two biggest barriers to accelerating investments in efficiency: the lack of the right kind of capital at the right time, and the lack of capacity to implement comprehensive retrofits. This revolutionary model reorganizes the supply side of the transaction by bringing new sources of capital to property owners, de-risking the deployment of cleantech, and providing integrated solutions rather than piece-meal retrofits. Efficiency Capital has raised significant project capital to invest in about $50M of projects and has so far deployed $4M in projects impacting around 1,000 residential units.
