Multifamily Weatherization for Supportive, Transitional & Affordable Housing The Association for Energy Affordability with Supportive Housing Network of New York WAP 2009 -2011 What did we achieve? What were the lessons learned? What else can be done today? Jeff Laino, Senior Program Manager and Director, Targeted Multi-Family Weatherization Projects, Association for Energy Affordability
Unique Retrofit Conditions in Supportive Housing: q Proportion non-residential to residential area: • Typical multifamily: 10% common area • Supportive Housing: 22% common area q Common area public space & social service offices q Building-wide tenant communities q Service-dependent populations q More on-site building staff q Smaller dwelling units q Varied living situations (shared services) Project FIND: Glaves House L. P. /Woodstock Hotel 2
Why Retrofit? Improve tenant/resident outcomes & building performance: q Reduce Utility Costs q Reduce Maintenance & Repair Costs q Improve Tenant/Resident Comfort q Improve Health and Safety q Expand Facility & Building Staff Training q Expand Tenant/Resident engagement Broader Benefits: q Local Community q National Goals q Environment
Typical Retrofit Measures: Frequency and Application Common Area Lighting Health & Safety Measures Weatherstripping In-Unit Lighting • $15 million WAP contract Routine maintenance and low cost retrofit measures: • 2, 598 units enrolled across 60 buildings • In-Unit & Common Area lighting • 24% predicted energy savings across pipeline • Weatherstripping • Health and Safety Measures
Persistence of Savings: Agency-wide approach q Encourage building and portfolio-wide action q Promote on-site achievements q Insure Building Operations Staff training q Provide Tenant Education q Collect and evaluate use data
Current Retrofit Resources: q Weatherization Assistance Program q Con Edison • Free measures • Incentives q NYSERDA • Multifamily Performance Program (MPP) • Empower q Private Financing & Servicing Programs
Typical Hurdles to Supportive Housing Retrofit Projects: q Energy efficiency takes a back seat to client services q Capital funding agencies do not automatically specify high efficiency technology as part of capital improvement projects q Lack of incentive based on certain operating “pass-through” budgets q Owner’s Contribution q Obtaining & assembling application documentation q Energy audit q Construction management
Getting it Done: Effective implementation practices Best Practices: q Bring funding agencies into plans early; highlight benefits q Identify key motivational considerations for sponsor and funders q Conduct kick-off planning and construction meeting including all involved parties q Take advantage of low-cost resources such as interns to assist with paperwork q Notify contractors of site-specific requirements that will affect contractor work rules q Inform contractor about any special needs related to residents Use Partners and Consultants q Energy Audit q Project or Construction Management q Financing q Portfolio Oversight (sustainability management) q Clearly identify roles and create contractual responsibilities if necessary q Train staff to get the most out of retrofits
