Energy Efficiency and Conservation at HUD
New Opportunities for State Partnerships
HUD Workshop with NAHROMarch 23, 2005
John H. Miller, II, PEOffice of Public and Indian Housing

Energy Action Plan Created to Support President’s National Energy Policy
“Conservation and energy efficiency are crucial components of a national energy plan. Greater energy efficiency helps the United States reduce the likelihood of energy shortages, emissions and the volatility of energy prices.”
May 2001
3
HUD Spends An Estimated $4 Billion Each Year on Utilities
More than 10% of entire budget
Estimated $1.1 billion directly through public housing operating subsidies
Remainder though utility allowances (Housing Choice Vouchers) or Section 8 multifamily contracts
Also impacts new construction through HOME, CDBG, HOPE VI, and elderly housing
Approximately 5 million units nation-wide
4
Secretary Alphonso Jackson Creates Energy Task Force
“With the announcement of the President’s National Energy Policy we now have the necessary framework for promoting increased energy efficiency in housing. HUD is committed to giving this issue the priority it deserves to make sure we make significant progress in conserving energy in housing.”
June 20, 2001
Testimony to House Financial Services Committee

6
Department-Wide Actions
Work with EPA to distribute Energy Star information Formalize interagency partnershipsCoordinate Department-wide training and informationAward priority rating points for energy efficiency in SuperNOFA/competitive grantsAssign agency-wide responsibility for coordinationInclude energy in Annual Performance Plan
7
Homeownership and Assisted Housing
Feature Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEMs) for up to $8K higher loan amountSimplify regulatory requirements for EEMsImprove tracking and evaluate performance of EEMs
Initiate multifamily weatherization partnershipsEnergy efficiency training for assisted multifamily managers and staffImprove tracking and monitoring (also PIH)
Single Family Multifamily
8
Public Housing
Streamline Energy Performance Contracting (shared savings)Purchase Energy Star products where cost effectiveEstablish Energy Star as the standard for HOPE VI new constructionImprove tracking and monitoring of energy use in public housing
9
Public Housing ExampleDanbury Housing Authority
Energy Performance ContractCombined Heat and PowerElectricity reduced from 1.25 million to 200,000 kWhEnergy cost reduced by $40,000 annuallyNo initial costs to the Housing Authority or HUD
10
HOPE VI ExampleChurchill Homes - Holyoke MA
50 new wood-framed, 3-story buildings Achieved Energy Star
Advanced framingHigh efficiency boilers/DHW combinationsControlled ventilation
30 percent more energy efficient than standard construction
11
Community Planning and Developmentand Policy Development and Research
Provide technical assistance and information to HOME and CDBG granteesPromote Combined Heat and Power (CHP)Conduct relevant policy analysis and researchTest or demonstrate innovative technologies (as needed) through PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing)
12
HOME ExampleFolsom Dore Apts – San Francisco
$1.9 million in HOME-fundsCurrently under construction High-efficiency HVAC system Energy Star AppliancesHigh-performing windows
13
PATH DemonstrationCo-Housing - Washington DC
HVAC equipment and ducts in conditioned spaces Low-flow plumbing fixturesGeothermal heat pumpsHigh efficiency water heaters
14
Energy Star Partnership with EPA and DOE
Memorandum of Understanding between HUD, EPA, DOESeptember 2002Expands purchasing of Energy Star in all HUD-assisted, financed, insured buildings

Other Accomplishments
Priority rating point for energy efficiency included in SuperNOFA
Energy included in FY 2004-2005 Annual Performance Plans
Benchmarking initiated to establish baseline for energy use in public housing
HOPE VI demonstration projects completed in Holyoke, MA and San Antonio, TX
Tracking of Energy Efficient Mortgages improved
18
Multifamily Weatherization Partnerships
NYSERDA (New York)Assisted Multifamily Program (AMP) - successful initiative in HUD-assisted multifamily buildings Collaboration on Combined Heat Power
California Energy CommissionTwo multifamily projects identified in Stockton, two in Sacramento
Missouri Energy OfficeDOE provided grant to Department of Energy and Natural Resources for St. Louis pilot
19
Other State Partnerships
State of MaineAdopted Energy Star as guideline for CDBG and HOME rehab, new construction
Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs
Collaborating on April regional energy conference
Delaware State of Energy OfficeCollaborating on June regional energy conference
