    Why not just have the city mandate the upgrades and then implement them? It’s probably not that big of a problem for everyone involved.

      If it were that simple everyone would have done it by now. This method of heating your building is very expensive. Long story short, I’m in the HVAC business and two of my customers have made themselves independent. One was a private property management company that gutted an empty building and was successful, the other is a federal building that hired a private company to convert over and got screwed.

        I made the same suggestion you did, all I changed was that the city pay for and implement the changes instead of handing out money to random people in the form of loans that may or may not get anything done.
