SoCalGas/SCE Integrated Multifamily Demonstration Project Presentation to the LIOBJuly 10, 2012
Background • LINC Housing – 274 Unit affordable housing complex in Santa Ana, CA • 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
Background • IOU Objectives: Develop integrative, sustainable & replicable approaches to comprehensively treat targeted MF complexes in order to achieve deep energy savings • 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)
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
