This policy identifies the eligible types of clean energy upgrades that may be
financed by the Municipality of the District of Barrington through the Property
Assessed Clean Energy Program By-law, also known as the PACE By-law.

Section 2 lists the eligible clean energy upgrade type that may be financed. Each
type of upgrade must be evaluated by the specific energy evaluation procedure and
must conform to the particular energy standard identified beside each upgrade type
in the table set forth below, in Section 2 of this policy. The required evaluation
procedure or standard ensures that the upgrade is studied from an energy science
perspective and that a definable energy benefit is determined.
1.3
The ability to approve financing for clean energy upgrades on specific properties
may be subject to further restrictions through the conditions set out in the PACE By-
law and the PACE Customer Agreement.
