Performance Contracting

Performance contracting is a method of financing, designing and building major projects that have a return on investment in avoided utility costs.  It provides a way to replace obsolete and inefficient equipment using guaranteed utility savings to pay for the project.  See the General Statutes section on this site for laws governing Performance Contracting.
