  2. Road Map • Multifamily Sector Background • Common Measures and Savings Potential • Overview of Investor Owned Utility (IOU) Programs • The Multifamily Sector in the California Public Utilities Commission Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan

  3. Introduction to the Multifamily Sector • Approximately 1/3 of California Residents Live in Multifamily Dwellings (~3.78 Million Households) • Differs from SF in Key Ways • Different Opportunities • Significant Low Income Proportion • Complex Financing Landscape • Can Offer Economies of Scale Source: California Public Utilities Commission, “California Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan,” September 2008.
