Your upgrade, paid for by the savings it creates

The best energy retrofit is worthless if the capital budget says no. Paid Through Savings projects remove that obstacle: SensorSuite structures and delivers the upgrade with $0 upfront, and payments come out of the measured savings the project generates.

How it works

  1. Assess

    a free assessment establishes your building's baseline and the savings opportunity (typically 20–30% on electric heat).

  2. Structure

    we design the project so the annual savings comfortably exceed the annual payments — targeting cash-flow positive from the first year.

  3. Install

    SensorSuite deploys the retrofit (SuiteHeat, controls, monitoring) at no capital cost to you.

  4. Verify

    savings are measured by the platform against the baseline — real meter data, not estimates.

  5. Pay from savings

    payments come out of verified savings over the term; when the term ends, all of the savings are yours.

Who it's for

  • Owners with competing capital priorities

    the roof and the elevator will always outrank the thermostats. Now they don't have to compete.

  • Social-housing providers

    stack Paid Through Savings with CGAH/CIB funding for retrofits that need essentially nothing down.

  • Boards and REIT committees

    a cash-flow-positive, meter-verified project is the easiest approval on the agenda.

Not a 15-year lock-in

Traditional energy-performance contracts run a decade or more with opaque baselines. Our structures are shorter, transparent, and measured by the same platform dashboard you log into — you see exactly what was saved and exactly what was paid, every month.

FAQ

What if the savings don't materialize?
The structure is built on conservative, measured baselines — and the platform verifies performance continuously. Terms define exactly how shortfalls are handled before you sign.
Who owns the equipment?
Ownership and end-of-term options are defined per agreement; at term end the equipment and all savings are yours.
Is this a loan?
Structures vary (service agreements, financed projects, savings-share); we'll present the options with your numbers. It's designed to be off the "capital request" path — confirm accounting treatment with your finance team.
