ESCO (Energy Service Company) is a business model where private companies provide
comprehensive energy saving services to building owners.
The key feature is a performance-based contract that guarantees energy savings.
ESCO operators provide a range of services to building owners including:
・Energy audits for factories and buildings
・Design and implementation of energy saving measures
・Maintenance and operation management of installed equipment
・Financing for the project
They achieve energy-efficient renovations without compromising the existing environment and
guarantee the resulting energy savings.
In return, ESCO operators receive a portion of the building owner’s energy cost savings (benefits).
ESCO projects not only reduce environmental impact but also offer significant business advantages,
making it a profitable and environmentally responsible business model.
