Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. Agreement Goals
1. Standardize energy efficiency retrofits to double energy efficiency in existing multifamily buildings by 2030.
2. Address financial barriers including developing a trajectory for reducing retrofit package costs by 50% while increasing capital access to 100% of installed energy efficiency measures.
3. Develop and deploy a scalable business model to generate owner and manufacturer demand and sector interest to facilitate mass adoption. Ratepayer Benefits3 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of: ● Reduced energy costs and improved access to energy efficiency retrofits for multifamily properties in DACs burdened by structural barriers to adoption such as: complex financial arrangements for low-income multifamily housing owners, insufficient access to capital, building stock with high levels of deferred maintenance, and residences located in underserved or remote regions. ● Improved economic security, living conditions, comfort, and health and safety for low- income tenants receiving retrofits. Residents will also experience lowered energy costs and improved indoor air quality. ● Greater electricity system reliability by integrating demand response and load shifting solutions into the integrated energy efficiency retrofit packages. ● Increased number of local job opportunities in DACs through installation of integrated energy efficiency retrofit packages. Increased adoption of energy efficiency retrofits may lead to local economic development in the contracting industry and trades. ● Increased availability and reduced costs of technologies as a result of demand created by installation of standardized integrated energy efficiency retrofit packages, lowering the cost of the technologies for all Californians.
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. The activities conducted under this Agreement will contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions from the building sector by supporting the integration of high-performance building designs and near-zero-emission building technologies, with a priority to address low-income and affordable multifamily housing. The contractor will provide technical assistance and education and outreach supporting BUILD to achieve these program objectives. 1 Two years from the CEC’s issuance of the BUILD Program’s Notice of Availability. WORK AUTHORIZATIONS For certain tasks, as specified below, no work shall be undertaken unless authorized by the CAM through a specific written document called a “Work Authorization.” For tasks subject to a Work Authorization, the CAM will prepare a Work Authorization that identifies the specific tasks to be performed and sets a maximum price, budget, and schedule for the work as further described in Exhibit E, section 2. The end date for Work Authorizations should be no later than 60 days prior to the term end date of the Agreement to allow the Contractor time to complete closeout activities and prepare the Final Report. All other tasks may begin immediately, as appropriate and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. The goals of Retrofit Bay Area mirror those of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: (a) energy savings, (b) job creation/preservation, and (c) economic recovery. The proposed program will create jobs and stimulate the economy through a comprehensive program to implement energy retrofits in existing residential buildings. To achieve these goals, Retrofit Bay Area has identified a set of three core program objectives that address the major barriers to market transformation and guide program design. These three objectives aim to spur comprehensive residential energy retrofits on a broad scale. • Provide financing mechanisms, including both Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing (when not inhibited by FHFA) and alternative financing such as secured and unsecured loans, to address the high upfront cost of retrofits. Retrofit Bay Area will build on the region’s existing investments into municipal financing programs and reduce or remove these barriers for a wide range of projects and population segments. Funding will not be used to directly fund municipal financing programs. • Demonstrate more effective marketing and outreach methods to inform and motivate property owner participation. Retrofit Bay Area will bundle homeowner incentives (e.g., PACE when appropriate and other secured and unsecured financing, utility and local government rebates, tax credits, etc.) and employ an array of innovative outreach methods that reflect current behavioral science research; more effectively communicate current value propositions, and create new ones. Marketing and outreach messaging will strongly promote Tier 3 whole-house retrofits. • Streamline participant, contractor, and administration processes to reduce the high transaction costs and build a quality green workforce. Retrofit Bay Area will use new cutting-edge data and decision software tools to reduce transaction costs for both contractors and the program. These innovations can contribute greatly to the growth and maturity of the building performance industry that will be capable of delivering building energy performance with strong momentum toward a mass scale at more reasonable cost. Retrofit Bay Area will work collaboratively with the local jurisdictions, governmental agencies, and utilities to implement strict protocols that will assure consistent project quality, high performance, and verifiable results. Consistent standards will be applied to build consumer confidence and maximize customer satisfac...
