In 2015, HUD was authorized to establish a Pay For Success (PFS) demonstration for achieving energy and water savings in the multifamily assisted housing stock. HUD published the intent to collect information with comments due on July 8. HUD is proposing to collect the following information:

  • A list of installed measures with cost information;
  • Weather- and occupancy-normalized pre-retrofit consumption baselines for each affected tenant- and owner-paid utility, and all component data used to calculate those baselines, including utility consumption, rates, utility allowances, and climatic and occupancy data, and the calculation methodology used;
  • Weather- and occupancy-normalized post-retrofit consumption projections for each affected tenant- and owner-paid utility, and all component data used to calculate those baselines, including utility consumption, rates, utility allowances, and climatic and occupancy data, and the calculation methodology used;
  • Recalculated pre-retrofit baseline utility allowances and post-retrofit utility allowances for each unit size/ type;
  • Recalculated pre-retrofit baseline owner rental subsidy and post-retrofit owner renter for each unit size/type; and
  • Post-retrofit per-unit annual savings to HUD relative to pre-retrofit baseline.
