PACE financing allows property owners to pay for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water efficiency projects through additional assessments on their property tax bill over 5-20 years. The contractor receives funds upfront to complete the retrofit project. Then the property owner pays back the funds as a special assessment on their property taxes. This overcomes challenges like lack of access to financing, limited internal capital budgets, and uncertainty around payback periods by spreading costs over many years and securing repayment through a senior lien on the property.

The document discusses the new IFRS 16 leases standard which will significantly change lease accounting for lessees. It will require lessees to recognize nearly all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This will increase reported assets and liabilities for lessees and affect key financial metrics. The standard also provides guidance on separating lease and non-lease components of contracts and determining the lease term. Lessors' accounting remains largely unchanged but they may see impacts due to changes in lessee needs and behaviors. Companies need to assess the impact on financial reporting and business processes to prepare for implementation in 2019.
