Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising energy prices and concerns about the environment have fueled interest in "green building" -- resource-efficient construction and maintenance practices that reduce adverse impacts on the natural environment. HUD spends an estimated $5 billion on energy costs annually in its affordable housing programs and has recently taken steps to reduce its energy costs. This report reviews: (1) HUD's efforts to promote energy efficiency in its programs and the use of performance measures; (2) potential costs and long-term benefits of green building in HUD's affordable housing programs; and (3) lessons learned elsewhere that HUD could use to promote green building. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

Download or read book Energy Efficient Affordable Housing written by Sasha Tsenkova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-04-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comparative assessment of the energy-efficiency retrofit programs in the social housing sector of Canadian cities, focusing on program efficiency and effectiveness. The analytical framework explores key policy instruments - regulatory, fiscal and institutional - in relation to major results achieved. The approach is interdisciplinary, supported by rich empirical data from case studies, observations and interviews. The book explores important strategies for the provision of green and affordable housing, while addressing climate change imperatives and resilience issues. This is of great interest to researchers, policy makers, city leaders, professionals and students. Its value added contribution to scholarship is complemented by practical relevance for social housing organisations in countries with a small residual housing sector. It offers valuable lessons for the design, planning and implementation of energy retrofit programs in North America and beyond.

Book Synopsis Enabling Energy Efficiency for Low-income Housing in Developing Countries Using MIT Design Advisor by : Zehra Hyder Ali
Download or read book Enabling Energy Efficiency for Low-income Housing in Developing Countries Using MIT Design Advisor written by Zehra Hyder Ali and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great need to improve energy efficiency of low-income housing, since people who can afford it least have to pay a significant portion of their income to make their homes more habitable or else live with greater health and environmental risks. One of the main barriers to improving energy efficiency in low-income housing is the lack of awareness regarding design choices and their associated externalities. Thus to enable better design decision-making, MIT Design Advisor, a rapid and simple building energy simulation tool, has been adapted to make the costs of poor housing energy efficiency more obvious and the benefits through simple design improvements more understandable and comparable. Through the use of this tool decision makers would be provided with a platform to investigate different design concepts and prioritize energy efficiency improvements for low income housing without having to spend time and money in hiring experts or conducting a pilot study. Also, a framework to engage different stakeholders past the design process towards implementing these recommendations has also been presented.

Book Synopsis Green Affordable Housing by : Gerald N. Burlinghouse
Download or read book Green Affordable Housing written by Gerald N. Burlinghouse and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HUD has taken steps to promote energy efficiency by providing information, training, and technical assistance, but its efforts have limitations. HUD has also provided some financial incentives to promote green building, including energy efficiency, for public housing and for a small segment of the multifamily properties HUD supports. Additionally, HUD has developed some performance measures to track the progress of its energy efficiency efforts. However, HUD has not begun requiring energy-efficient products and appliances in its public housing properties, as required by statute. HUD has also not implemented major energy efficiency updates to the building code for manufactured housing in more than a decade. Without such requirements and updates, public housing authorities may be spending more on utility expenses than is necessary and manufacturers may lack an incentive to build energy-efficient manufactured homes.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using DOE grant funds, the Alliance to Save Energy developed and managed an award-winning low-income housing demonstration in cooperation with Houston Habitat for Humanity at the 1996 and 1997 annual NAHB Builders Show in Houston, Texas. Using a unique group of over 30 national, state and local partners, the energy design of Houston Habitat houses was permanently upgraded to the Energy Star Homes Program threshold. Meeting Energy Star Homes Program criteria, the partner design team increased the level of efficiency approximately 30% over the 1992 Model Energy Code. This innovative design using commercially available materials added approximately $1,400 in cost-effective energy upgrades with an estimated payback of less than 8 years. The 30 public-private partners successfully demonstrated energy and resource efficient housing techniques to the 65,000 NAHB home show attendees and the over 3,000 Habitat affiliates. This project resulted in the Houston Habitat affiliate becoming the nations̀ first low-income Energy Star Homes Program home builder. By the year 2000, Houston Habitat anticipates building over 500 homes to this new level of efficiency as well as set an example for other Habitat affiliates nationwide to follow. The 1997 demonstration house utilized an all-women volunteer builders team to construct a 3 bedroom home in Houston Habitats̀ Woodglen Subdivision. Energy consumption was remotely metered by Texas A and M.

Book Synopsis The Intersection of Energy Efficiency and Affordable Housing by : Rachel Anne Fives
Download or read book The Intersection of Energy Efficiency and Affordable Housing written by Rachel Anne Fives and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study researched inclusions and limitations of zoning ordinances for energy efficient, affordable housing in upstate New York. A survey tested the acceptance level of the public toward mandates for affordable housing and energy efficient housing as discrete programs for residential development. Data was collected using interviews of key stakeholders and policy implementers in Tompkins County, New York. The Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research conducted the survey as part of the annual Empire State Poll. There were three hypotheses, the first being that requiring energy efficient, affordable housing is an unpopular concept in New York State. The second hypothesis was that local land use regulations limit affordable, energy efficient development. The third hypothesis was that housing development that is both energy efficient and affordable is not a high priority concept for community planners. The results from the survey reveal that the residents of New York State supports housing development that is affordable and that is energy efficient. Data collected from interviews of planners, lenders and developers in Tompkins County, New York indicate local land use regulations have an impact on residential development in a variety of ways, but that affordable, energy efficient housing is a high priority in the county. This research brings forth possible solutions for changes to zoning ordinances that may encourage developers to build housing units that are affordable to a broad range of socioeconomic levels and meet the needs of a diverse community such as Tompkins County, New York.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Memphis Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD) receives grant funding each year from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide local housing assistance to low-income residents. Through the years, HCD has found that many of the program recipients have had difficulty in managing their households, particularly in meeting monthly financial obligations. One of the major operating costs to low-income households is the utility bill. Furthermore, HCD's experience has revealed that many low-income residents are simply unaware of ways to reduce their utility bill. Most of the HCD funds are distributed to low-income persons as grants or no/low interest loans for the construction or rehabilitation of single-family dwellings. With these funds, HCD builds 80 to 100 new houses and renovates about 500 homes each year. Houses constructed or renovated by HCD must meet HUD's minimum energy efficiency standards. While these minimum standards are more than adequate to meet local building codes, they are not as aggressive as the energy efficiency standards being promoted by the national utility organizations and the home building industry. Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW), a city-owned utility, has developed an award-winning program named Comfort Plus which promotes energy efficiency{open_quote} in new residential construction. Under Comfort Plus, MLGW models house plans on computer for a fee and recommends cost-effective alterations which improve the energy efficiency of the house. If the builder agrees to include these recommendations, MLGW will certify the house and guarantee a maximum annual heating/cooling bill for two years. While the Comfort Plus program has received recognition in the new construction market, it does not address the existing housing stock.
