D. Project Outcomes Narrative:

Describe the types of energy and/or water efficiency measures implemented. Indicate the actual energy/water savings compared with expectations, as pulled from actual facility-level data. Include analysis as to why “actual” did or did not match “expectations”. Please bear in mind that the goal at the beginning of each grant was 20% energy savings.

13. Photos (attach):

Section V: General Program Q&A

Please answer the following questions, providing as much detail and supporting data as possible. It is understood that some of these questions may not apply to all grantees.

1. How did the project demonstrate solutions to the primary and longstanding challenges to implementing energy efficiency (including behavior modification, where applicable) and renewable energy improvements, in existing affordable multifamily properties?

2. How did the project leverage private capital and additional public funding to demonstrate “proof of concept” of specific models?

3. How did the project conduct applied research to document and disseminate mainstream, scalable approaches to retrofitting affordable multifamily properties? For grants that involved behavior modification, how was the modification carried out and documented? Were the results of such modification scalable?

4. How did the project reduce energy consumption in multifamily residential properties, with resulting savings for families, property owners, and in some cases the Federal government, and lower greenhouse gas emissions? For behavior modification, how successful was the change in reducing energy consumption? Were the changes temporary or permanent?

5. How did the project increase private investment to support energy efficiency in the properties?

6. How did the project generate green jobs in construction, property management, and technical analysis (e.g., energy audits, building commissioning), including job opportunities for low-income people? How many jobs were created?

7. Provide analysis of data on the costs, benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with retrofitting such properties or behavior modification.

8. Explain approaches for retrofitting such properties or behavior modification that can be scaled up, applied more widely and adopted by other parties.

9. Explain how approaches addressed solutions to the disparity among the parties when their financial or other interests are not the same, such as the difference in perspective when utilities are paid only by the ownership or only by the tenants, i.e., the so-called “split incentives” issue.

Section VI: Program Feedback

In the spirit of continuous improvement, we would great appreciate your feedback on the grant program:

1. What aspect(s) of this Grant program worked well?

2. What aspect(s) of this Grant program could be improved?

3. Where you how satisfied were you with the administration of the Grant Program?

4. Additional comments:

1 “Receiving” the intervention includes all tenants taking part in program by receiving, surveys, financing, behavioral modification methods, retrofits, etc.
