2. BACKGROUND • The City has been awarded funding under the 2009 ARRA through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) • $4.7 million has been allocated to LAHD for the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Pilot Program  • The goal is to improve energy and water efficiency in approximately 10 existing affordable multi-family housing developments by awarding a maximum of $500,000 per project

3. EECBG AWARDS Of the $4.7 million allocated to the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Pilot Program, one-third will be awarded proportionately to each of the following types of housing projects: • Multi-Family • Single Room Occupancy (SRO) • Senior

4. NOFA AWARDS • For all 2010 Round 3 program categories, the number of allocations will be limited to three projects for any one owner/developer • If the same project is awarded resources under two different program categories (i.e., EECBG and Mixed Income), it would be counted as one allocation

5. ELIGIBLE PROJECTS/PROPOSALS • Existing affordable housing projects that propose energy efficiency increases of 20 - 40% • Projects with existing or proposed affordability covenants of an initial term of 30 years

6. DAVIS BACON WAGE REQUIREMENT • Projects receiving an EECBG award are subject to Davis/Bacon Wage Requirements

7. THE EECBG APPLICATION • EECBG NOFA Application • EECBG Property Information Questionnaire • Required Attachments: • Past three years’ audits • YTD financial statement • Statement of replacement reserve balance • Two years utility data • Regulatory Agreement/Affordability Covenant

11. RETROFIT POTENTIAL BUILDING RANKING METHODOLOGY • Heschong Mahone Group created the “navigational tool” • Adapted to rank buildings based on potential for energy efficiency improvements through “whole building” retrofit • Based on information submitted on “EECBG Questionnaire” • Analyzes building information to make this determination • Types of systems • Age of systems • Compares existing equipment to latest market standard

12. BUILDING INFORMATION ANALYSIS • Breaks out potential areas for improvement into 4 categories: • Building Envelope • Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC) • Domestic Hot Water (DHW) • Lighting

13. BUILDING INFORMATION ANALYSIS Identifies specific areas for improvement within 4 categories. Example: Category 1 – Building Envelope • Wall insulation • Year installed or replaced? • Roof insulation • Year installed or replaced? • Window replacement • How old are the windows? • Single or double pane?

14. TIE BREAKER • If buildings have the same energy efficiency improvement potential rating, the following will be used to break the ties: • Size of property – the greater number of units • Energy intensity per square foot (for master-metered buildings)

15. ENERGY AUDIT • The energy audit must be conducted by a certified professional satisfactory to LAHD • The audit will determine baseline energy usage and establish a scope of work • Projects that cannot achieve a minimum 20% improvement may be deemed ineligible for funding • Funding for energy audits for non-profits may be available through Enterprise
