Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-October 1999, A 10-Year Experience
Abstract
The Texas LoanSTAR (Loans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum
violation escrow funds (PVE) from the Federal
government. LoanSTAR is administered by the
Texas State Energy Conservation Office of the
Comptroller's Office, under the guidance of Dub
Taylor, Director, and is the largest revolving loan
fund administered by a state for conservation
purposes. LoanSTAR was conceived in 1988 and
began in 1989. This paper summarizes the program
dollar savings and environmental impact from its
inception through October 1999.
