Energy performance contracting (EPC) is the best solution for an educational building to implement energy conservation measures (ECMs) because of its high capital expenditure and operational needed retrofit maintenance. It also considered a win–win mechanism organising efficiency projects. aims assist buildings in acquiring new high-efficiency equipment maximising use reduction, as guaranteed b...

Companies can form their own "ESCO model" with capitals.
