Unlocking cash-flow-positive building upgrades for Texas owners and CFOs
Bryte Light is now a Texas PACE–trained service provider. That means our team can help you use TX‑PACE financing to fund high‑impact upgrades—like intelligent, low‑voltage lighting and controls—with no upfront capital, repaid over long terms that match the useful life of the improvements.
What is TX‑PACE (in 30 seconds)?
TX‑PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a state‑enabled, locally adopted program that lets commercial, industrial, and multifamily owners finance energy efficiency, water conservation, resiliency, and on‑site generation improvements. Repayment is made through a voluntary assessment tied to the property, not the owner—so the obligation can transfer on sale, along with the benefits.
Why CFOs like it: terms are aligned to the useful life of the assets (often 10–20+ years), and projects are structured so projected savings meet or exceed payments—targeting cash‑flow positivity from day one.
Why it matters now in Texas
TX‑PACE has scaled rapidly across the state. In 2024 alone, the Texas PACE Authority worked with 103 local governments to help bring more than half a billion dollars of energy‑ and water‑saving improvements to Texas communities.
The business case (and the budget reality)
Upgrades like high‑efficiency HVAC, networked lighting, and controls often get deferred—even when the ROI is clear—because they compete with headcount and revenue‑generating initiatives. TX‑PACE flips that script by letting owners preserve cash, spread costs over long terms, and use utility savings to cover payments. In a typical illustration, a $1.2M HVAC and lighting project can generate roughly $29k in net positive cash flow per year when financed through TX‑PACE.
How Bryte Light helps you use TX‑PACE
· Intelligent, low‑voltage lighting that’s cost‑neutral to traditional systems, engineered to qualify as TX‑PACE “qualified improvements.”
· Controls, sensors, and analytics that boost efficiency and comfort—and document savings.
· Capital alignment: we help scope measures, coordinate with the TX‑PACE review process, and align project terms with asset life so savings are designed to cover payments.
· Future‑ready: because the assessment attaches to the property, the obligation—and benefits—can transfer if you sell.
With TX‑PACE, you can upgrade critical systems, improve comfort and resilience, and hit sustainability targets—without front‑loading capital or derailing other investments.
