This tool is intended to assist Community Development Financial Institutions with filtering potential early adopter borrowers for high-performance building projects. It can be used for high-level planning purposes. It also aims to help match potential funding sources with projects needing financing. It was developed for the HPN CDFI Readiness Cohort, which helped eight Community Development Financial Institutions create strategies to launch and expand clean energy business lending programs by integrating clean energy financing into their existing services.
