Introduction to the

Technical Guide

5

Purpose of the Technical Guide►Energy Efficient measures

reduce the use of limited resources►HUD adopted Energy Efficiency Guidelines

● Energy Star New Homes in eligible New Construction

● Maximum feasible efficiency in Rehab

►PJ staff play key role in promoting efficiency in development

►PJ staff need tools to understand, determine, and promote efficiency measures

6

History of the Technical Guide► Started in the Central Valley

● Project purpose―To provide tools needed to adopt reasonable and appropriate

energy efficiency measures into localities public policy● Worked with several communities to understand:

―HOME practices and procedures ―Efficiency goals

● Modeled savings achievedby various efficiency measures

● Created manual that included:―Actions PJ staff could adopt to encourage efficiency

in development―Recommendations and descriptions

of the most useful measures

7

History of the Technical Guide►Broadened original scope

● Description of common measures to improve energy efficiency in different project types

● Description of the strategies to encourage energy efficiency into different project types

● Description of tools for determining the measures most appropriate to the community

● Energy and Cost Reduction models of most effective measures for four applicable climate zones

How the Technical Guide Is Organized

►Part 1—Energy Efficiency Strategies and Approaches● New Construction, Rehabilitation,

and Homeowner Assistance―Common Efficiency Measures―Encouraging Incorporation of Measures

● Tools to determine cost effective measures● Partners for Leveraging Resources● Related Programs

―Renewables and Green building

11

How the Technical Guide Is Organized

►Part 2—Regional Energy Efficiency Recommendations● Weather and non-weather sensitive measures

―Non-weather sensitive measures apply anywhere―Weather sensitive measures appropriate only in some

areas

● Four climate zones listed ―California Central Valley―San Francisco Bay Area―Mountainous ―Desert

PJ Staff►Determining Measures

● Identify type of project●Review common measures associated

with project type●Analyze costs and savings of measures● Identify measures to promote

PJ Staff►Promoting Efficiency Measures

● Identify project type●Adopt measures●Determine promotion strategy●Prepare for possible resistance●Establish partnerships to facilitate

implementation
