I. Background
The President’s Climate Action Plan
The President’s Climate Action Plan
calls on Federal agencies to rapidly
increase investments in energy
productivity, eliminate energy waste,
ramp up efficiency standards, and
deploy the tools and technology needed
to build a new energy economy. The
residential building sector is responsible
for fully 21 percent of the nation’s
greenhouse gas emissions. Utility costs
(energy and water) account for around
22 percent of public housing operating
budgets and a similar share in the
assisted housing sector. HUD spends an
estimated $6.4 billion annually to cover
the costs of utilities in its public and
assisted housing programs.1
HUD is committed to creating energyefficient, water-efficient, and healthy
housing as part of a broader effort to
foster the development of inclusive,
sustainable, and resilient communities.
Investments in energy-efficiency and
water-efficiency pay dividends by
improving occupant comfort, stabilizing
operating costs, alleviating taxpayer
burden, preserving affordable housing,
ensuring disaster resilience, and
mitigating climate change. As such, the
Office of Multifamily Housing Programs
in HUD’s Office of Housing has taken
several steps to encourage greater energy
and water efficiency in multifamily
housing, including:
• Updating and standardizing the
utility allowance methodology for
assisted properties that must submit
annual documentation of utility
allowances (estimated 70 percent of
portfolio); 2 (See Section ‘‘Other PRA
Collections that Impact this
Submission’’ for more information on
how other previously approved PRA
collections relate to Energy
Benchmarking).
• Offering incentives to multifamily
owners and management agents who
have joined the Better Buildings
Challenge, set a goal of reducing energy
and/or water use by 20 percent within
10 years, and established themselves as
leaders in the field with respect to
energy and/or water efficiency; 3
• Providing access to capital to make
energy improvements by implementing
changes to the Federal Housing
Administration’s (FHA) underwriting
standards in the Multifamily
Accelerated Processing Guide (MAP
Guide) to allow greater loan proceeds
