In addition,We have a great selection of blown glass backyard solar landscape lights and daytime running lights. he announced a financing agreement between Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. and California-based Clean Fund that aims to finance scores of energy-focused building upgrades. 

"Clean Fund expects to finance roughly $100 million in qualified projects over an initial three-year period," John Kinney, chief executive of Clean Fund, which has financed similar projects in California and other states. He called it a "commitment we would love to exceed.If you do your homework and insist on only the High Quality Solar garden lighting, you'll experience enjoyable modern solar LED garden lights can actually be." 

Clean Fund specializes in funding projects that are paid for through a special charge on property tax bills. Legislation adopted this month by the Common Council enables the charges to be collected and paid off over 20 years. 

“What we found is a need to have longer-term thinking for property owners,” Barrett said. “We’re looking for a voluntary way — and I stress the word voluntary — for property owners to invest in their properties and spread the cost of these improvements in essence, over the life of the property.” 

Clean Fund works with Johnson Controls Inc., whose global building efficiency business, based downtown, specializes in engineering projects that replace building chillers, upgrade controls, tap software to make them run better and install more efficient lighting. 

Johnson Controls has worked on eight projects already in Milwaukee through the ME2 program,The unique elegance of modern floor lamps and High Quality indoor solar lightingcould certainly transform your home into a place of beauty. including projects at City Center at 735 and the U.You will never need to change the bulbs and your car led lights will last for years and years.S. Bank tower. In one of the more noticeable changes, the lights outside the U.S. Bank building will soon be converted LED, or light-emitting diode, technology that saves 40% on energy used by the lights that adorn Wisconsin's tallest building, said Dean Henderson of Johnson Controls. 

Another project, at the Wells building, will save that building 17 million gallons of water a year, said Chuck McGinnis, U.S. director of commercial energy solutions for Johnson Controls. 

"In total Johnson Controls has executed contracts worth about $6 million, providing over 60 jobs in the community," McGinnis said. 

The company has a pipeline of at least eight or 10 projects that could turn into orders thanks to the PACE financing and capital infusion from Clean Fund, said Dean Henderson of Johnson Controls. 

Milwaukee can be among the national leaders in funding commercial building energy upgrades, said McGinnis, whose team initially targeted these kinds of projects in San Francisco and Sacramento. 

This program will help buildings go beyond making that pledge and get the work done to fulfill those goals, said Sheldon Oppermann of the Building Owners and Managers Association of Wisconsin. 

Energy-saving projects can help older buildings compete with new construction in providing creature comforts that tenants rely on, said Oppermann, whose 100-year-old City Center at 735 building recently replaced a 1954 chiller, upgraded elevators and escalators and other efficiency projects through the ME2 program. 

"Our building is more occupied than it's ever been," he said of City Center, now certified as both an Energy Star and LEED building.Solar energy and China torch light products are just plain smart. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. More information about the program is available on the web site at www.hmhid.com.
