Energy Efficiency and Conservation at HUD
Implementing HUD’s Energy Action Plan
Energy Training Workshop
Departmental Headquarters - May 10, 2005
2
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
Growing Gap Between Domestic Production and Consumption
4
Premise
Improvements in the energy efficiency of homes and apartments in the United States have the potential to significantly reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, increase housing affordability, and contribute to the nation’s energy security
5
Buildings account for over one third (36%) of all energy used in the U.S.
Trans-portation
28%
Industry36%
Commercial Buildings
16%
Residential Buildings
20%
6
Energy Use in Buildings
Buildings use more than one third of all energy in the U.S., and two-thirds of all electricity consumptionHomes and apartments use more than one half of the energy used in all buildings in the U.S.
7
Residential Sector Uses 20% of Total U.S. Energy
Americans spend $138 billion in homesResidential energy use expected to grow by 20% by 2020Average family spends $1,338/year on energyElectricity accounts for 61% of energy useSignificant reductions 1987-87, but little since: average home uses 101 million BtusHomes getting bigger, more appliances
8
Some Efficiency Gains
New home refrigerators use one third less energy than in 1972New commercial lighting systems use less than half of the energy they did in the 1980sFederal buildings now use about 20 percent less energy per square foot since 1985Industrial energy use per unit of output declined by 25% from 1980 to 1999Amount of energy required to generate 1 kilowatt hour of electricity has declined by 10 percent since 1980While energy consumption has increased, emissions have declined
9
Utilities and Housing Affordability
Energy costs often second-largest shelter expense
Second only to mortgage payments, rent
Can be a factor in mortgage defaultsMultifamily building abandonmentLow-moderate income families at riskHigh oil, natural gas prices

Energy Burden Highest on Low-Income Households

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
12
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

21-Point Action Plan Posted on HUD Web Site
www.hud.gov/offices/cpd
15
21 Actions in Six Key Areas
I. Interagency partnerships with DOE and EPALeverage resources of sister agencies
II. Information, training and technical assistanceIII. Rewards and incentives for energy efficiencyIV. Energy standards and program requirementsV. Management and monitoring or HUD’s energy
programsVI. Policy analysis and technology research
16
The Plan: Department-Wide
Work with EPA to distribute Energy Star information to HUD customers (Action 1)Formalize partnerships with DOE and EPA (Action 2)Coordinate department-wide workshops and information (Action 4)Assist non-profits and faith-based organizations (Action 7)
17
The Plan: Department-Wide
Assign agency-wide responsibility for coordinating HUD’s energy programs (Action 14)Include energy efficiency performance measures in Annual Performance Plan and Management Plan (Action 15)Award priority rating points in competitive grant programs (Action 11)
18
The Plan: Public and Indian Housing
Streamline Energy Performance Contracting - guaranteed/shared savings (Action 8)Purchase Energy Star products where cost effective (Action 12)Establish HOPE VI as a leader in cost-effective energy-efficient construction - Energy Star (Action 13)Improve tracking and monitoring of energy use in public housing (Action 17)
19
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
20
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
21
The Plan:FHA – Single Family Homeownership
Feature Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEMs) for up to $8K higher loan amount (Action 9)Simplify regulatory requirements for EEMs (Action 10)Improve tracking and evaluate performance of EEMs (Action 17)
22
The Plan: FHA-Multifamily Housing
Initiate HUD-DOE multifamily weatherization partnerships (Action 2)Support energy efficiency training for assisted multifamily managers and staff (Action 5)
23
The Plan: Community Planning and Development
Provide technical assistance and information to HOME and CDBG granteesPromote Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
24
HOME ExampleFolsom Dore Apts – San Francisco
