Financial Overview

As mentioned, Minimise’ No Capital Outlay Partnership Agreement (NCOPA) delivers customized energy technologies to reduce energy waste which in turn is at no cost, with prepaid savings, as well as operation and maintenance (O&M) programs for the duration of the term.

At the end of the contract, the Client will benefit more from the NCOPA program than investing their own capital, or worse, not making any improvements at all. The following graphic shows the difference the NCOPA program could make for a Client’s gains through savings and investments capital. The Client receives an Investment Grade Audit (IGA), prepaid savings, the capital investment on the solutions, operations and maintenance for the term of the contract and the continuous benefit of the equipment when the contract has ended.

The NCOPA provides for the entire funding mechanism for the project, thus freeing the Client from needing to spend one cent of its capital expenditure budget to improve any energy infrastructure upgrades over the term of the NCOPA.

The savings from the upgraded energy infrastructure alone pays for the project, eliminating the need for loans, leases, or project funding gimmicks. The Client simply need to treat the NCOPA payment the same as it would a usual utility payment.

The No Capital Outlay Partnership Agreement (NCOPA) is backed by multiple AA+ rated national and international banks. In fact, Minimise secured a $400 million credit line from a leading banking institution in 2020 for NCOPA related projects. NCOPA payment the same as it would a usual utility payment.

Beyond NCOPA to Complex Housing
Public Private Partnerships

Our Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) program bundles assets, technology, and services into one contract that delivers immediate as well as ongoing operational and financial benefits to customers without the burden of product ownership, managing numerous contracts, or increase of debt.

Using the IAAS model, Johnson Controls works with the customer to determine who is best suited to take responsibility for the operational outcomes. Often, our customers elect to maintain operational control. Johnson Controls can also take full responsibility and risk transfer of the various elements to drive the agreed upon outcomes and key performance indicators including:

Construction and commissioning
Guaranteed energy savings with measurement and verification
Operation and maintenance on included assets. Potential for lifecycle refresh outcomes
Total building operational costs including lifecycle refresh outcomes

Rather than borrow money through traditional debt financing, customers are able to expense facility improvements through this program without making an upfront capital investment. Johnson Controls would pay for the cost to engineer and install various improvements that lower the utility, operational, and capital costs for the facility or facilities.

Once the improvements are installed, you would pay for the benefits that the project generates over the contract term. IAAS is a “pay for performance” program. This means that you’ll have nothing to pay if a facility doesn’t receive corresponding benefit.
