Project initiated by California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC)

Work group collaboration includes: CHPC, LINC Housing, Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF), Century Housing, SoCalGas & SCE 2

Background

IOU Objectives: Develop integrative, sustainable & replicable approaches

Test Various MF Strategies Including: Single Point of Contact, multi-program coordination, pre/post-installation energy analysis, referral coordination, streamline practice and delivery & test new EE technologies etc.

Project Joint utility coordination effort between SoCalGas & SCE IOU energy efficiency programs involved

Energy Savings Assistance Program (Joint SCG & SCE implementation) Solar Thermal (CSI program) MF Direct Install Programs (SCG & SCE – No cost to LINC) MF EE Retrofit Rebates (SCG and SCE) EE Education for Residents/Kids Emerging Technologies to conduct ‘In Unit’ testing On-Bill Financing/Line-item Billing

ESAP &/or third party contractor(s) available for market rate installations

Provide recommendations beyond gas/electric – Connection to MWD & Santa Ana Public Works Agency (water measures) 4

Initial Successes

Single Point of Contact provides simplified & customer friendly approach to owner/tenants in addressing multi-program accessibility issue (including both IOU and non-IOU programs)

Owner/Work Group collaboration maximizes savings opportunities & delivers cost effective implementation timelines (simultaneous installation of retrofits/measures, where possible)

Owner works with IOUs to engage tenants early and throughout the project

Use of dual utility contractor to deliver multiple programs during a single visit imposes smallest possible impact to tenants

IOU funded programs allow owner to stretch dollars and provide additional deep energy savings measures not funded through the IOUs
