How Will Energy-Efficiency-as-a-Service Impact HVAC Contractors?

How is Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) impacting other areas of the energy efficiency market?  Will contractors see a significant change?  EEaaS is a pay-for-performance, off-balance sheet financing solution that allows customers to implement energy efficiency projects with no upfront capital expenditure.  It tasks a third party with financing and performing the required upgrades and the money resulting from savings is used to pay back the provider.  This model is relatively new and more appealing to business and organizations than homeowners and renters.  Contractors in the energy efficiency market will have to adjust their approach to keep customers and a dependable income stream.
