2 2 Enterprise works nationally

3 3 Operations and Maintenance Integrated Design Energy Efficiency Location and Neighborhood Fabric Materials Beneficial to the Environment Health Water Conservation Green Communities Criteria creates green affordable housing

4 4 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

5 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

6 6 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)

7 7 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

8 8 Enterprise provides technical assistance to owners Combined technical support includes: o Whole-Building Analysis o Energy and Water Usage Data Collection o Financing o Assembling Subsidy Sources o Verification and Monitoring o Training and Education

11 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

12 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

13 13 Enterprise is targeting mortgage refinancing for retrofits Green Mortgage Modifications - Working with public and private agencies to explore: o Underwriting enhancements - Bridge Loan Product o Market Transformations - Green Refinance Plus Program
