Existing properties are in need of retrofitting
o Existing buildings emit 21.6% of total U.S. CO2 emissions
o It takes 65 years for a new, energy efficient building to save
the amount lost in demolishing an existing building
![Page 5: ESTHER TOPOROVSKY Program Director Green Communities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568154f3550346895dc2e72a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Current market barriers present challenges to retrofitting
o Imperfect information
o Multiple energy audit tools
o Lack of a comprehensive protocol
o Limited technical capacity
o Inadequate financing
o Disaggregated benefits
o Split incentives

Public policy shapes the retrofit landscape
o ARRA $11.6 billion in Energy Efficiency Funding
o State Energy Program (SEP)
o Weatherization (WAP)
o Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG)

Enterprise addresses retrofitting through pilot markets
A standard retrofit process that is replicable and scalable
for any market that:
o Improves property cash flow
o Improves health of residents
o Creates opportunities for green jobs
o Reduces carbon emissions

Enterprise Audit Protocols provide a building assessment
Enterprise Audit Protocols (GCNA & EEWC)o Building owners, Lenders, Subsidy Providers
Establisho Clear guidelines to evaluate potential retrofit of a building
Methodology for an audit that provideso Transparencyo Consistencyo Underwritable Savings
![Page 11: ESTHER TOPOROVSKY Program Director Green Communities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568154f3550346895dc2e72a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Financing determines which audit protocol to use
o Ad-On Financing
Property takes on additional debt/or grant funds which is paid back by operational savings of the improvements
o Retrofit Mortgage Refinancing
Mortgage proceeds from the refinance pay for retrofit improvements, and debt is paid back by the energy and water cost savings, over the life of the mortgage
![Page 12: ESTHER TOPOROVSKY Program Director Green Communities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568154f3550346895dc2e72a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Ad-On Financing is challenging
o Owner unwilling to take on debt
o Unfamiliar product
o Real Data to prove actual savings
o 50% to 70% subsidy required
![Page 13: ESTHER TOPOROVSKY Program Director Green Communities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568154f3550346895dc2e72a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
