Jumpstart Your ESPC: A Practical Guide for MUSH Market Champions

July 30, 2025, 12:00 PM MDT

Are you ready to take the first step toward lower utility bills, better-performing facilities, and modern infrastructure—without upfront capital? This interactive webinar is designed for champions in the Municipal, University, School, and Hospital (MUSH) sectors who are ready to explore Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) but aren’t sure where to begin.

This session will walk you through a practical, step-by-step approach to kickstarting your own ESPC program—from identifying what’s broken or costing too much, to understanding which internal stakeholders to engage, to scoping a project that’s worth pursuing.
Participants will receive a downloadable worksheet to begin building their own ESPC game plan during the webinar.

Who Should Attend:

  • Facilities managers
  • Energy/sustainability leads
  • Transportation/fleet managers
  • Finance or procurement staff
  • Anyone asked to “figure out how to save money on energy”
  • Anyone asked “Please get our HVAC, lighting, controls, windows, etc. fixed or replaced”

We’ll think through:

What’s broken?
- How to spot early candidates for ESPC—think HVAC issues, lighting, outdated controls, rising energy bills

Organizing your observations into a scope of potential measures
Where’s the value?
- Estimating cost drivers and potential savings
- Tools and tips for identifying technical measures that pay for themselves

Who needs to be at the table?
- Building your stakeholder map
- Tips to engage finance, procurement, legal, and leadership early

All attendees will receive a PDF toolkit to continue developing their ESPC program after the webinar—including templates, links to case studies, and DOE approved resources.
