HUD Operating Funding System CFR 990.107(f) imposes two requirements for funding energy conservation improvements. 1. Energy conservation measures MUST be financed by an entity other than the Secretary. [ Private Loan] • Energy cost savings MUST be sufficient to pay the loan within 12 years.
+ 2. 1. Freezing the Rolling Base Add-on Subsidy HUD Performance Funding System Federal Regulations 24 CFR 990.107(f) provide two options for funding energy conservation improvements.
HUD Performance Funding System Option 1: Freeze the Rolling Base Incentive Cost Benefit To PHA Frozen Base Line PHA Energy Usage Before Improvements Per Year HUD Energy Payment Energy Savings Yearly Energy Usage After Improvements Minimum of 51% (75%) of the savings MUST be used to for loan repayment
Frozen Baseline - Energy Consumption Before Improvements + Current Utility Rate Cost Savings Energy Consumption After Improvements HUD Performance Funding System Option 1: Freeze the Rolling Base Incentive Energy Savings
Add On Subsidy HUD Performance Funding System Option 2: Add-On Subsidy Incentive Energy Cost Savings- PFS Base Line – NOT Frozen PHA Energy Usage Before Improvements Per Year Yearly Energy Usage After Improvements HUD Energy Payment
HUD Performance Funding System Option 2: Add-On Subsidy Incentive

New Requirements HUD Field Office Review Procedure By Statute, the housing authority is required to have a qualified third party to assist in its energy finance program. The authority is required to use a licensed engineer familiar with performance contracting, financing, commissioning, and measurement and verification.

Verification Methodology - Reference the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) website at www.IPMVP.org EPC – HUD Checklist
Baseline Data Baseline utility consumptions are clearly defined by utility, by month, for three years showing utility consumption and utility cost by project. The PHA has reviewed and verified that the baseline data is correct. The HUD Field Office has reviewed and verified that the baseline data correlates to the financial data as found on form HUD-52722-A. Documentation has been provided to support that all “escalated” rates are reasonable. EPC – HUD Checklist
