Multifamily Relevance in California

• California Energy Commission’s goal is to retrofit 100% of the existing multifamily homes to have a 40% decrease in purchased energy (from 2008 levels) by 2020

• California has 3.7 million multifamily dwelling units – 27.8% of total residences

Energy Upgrade California

• Statewide program for energy and green building upgrades

• Collaboration of state, utilities, cities/counties• Each City or County may have unique program 

elements• Solutions to overcome participation barriers:

– Rebates/incentives– Financing– Education/awareness– Professional training

• Supports the whole‐building approach to energy efficiency

Page 6: Energy California Multifamily Programsh-m-g.com/multifamily/experience/ACI-CA_Multifamily_HomePerform… · Energy Upgrade California – Multifamily Programs Program Elements Alameda

What is the Whole Building Approach?

• Evaluate best sequence of measures for a building across multiple systems, including:o Envelope o Heating & cooling systemso Water heating systemso Lighting & applianceso Other green measures (water efficiency, recycling, etc.)

Options for Recovery: Quote

"The SMUD Energy Upgrade program proved to be  an excellent resource for HomeAid Sacramento’s project for Volunteers of America. Having these funds made it possible for us to do so more for our nonprofit shelter partner than we had originally planned! A few benefits include:• The new upgrades reduced our utility costs, leaving more 

resources for programs and services.• The roof stopped leaking!• The “draft” in the client sleeping rooms was eliminatedWhen individuals and their families don’t have to worry about being in a warm and safe place at night, they are able to move toward making positive changes in their lives.”‐Beth Kang, Executive Director, HomeAid Sacramento

“It’s rare in construction and development when improvements can be cost effective, good for the environment, enhance the property’s value, and benefit the tenants’ lives all at once. Energy 

Upgrade California™ allowed us to do just that.”
