SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Background The President’s Climate Action Plan The President’s Climate Action Plan calls on Federal agencies to rapidly increase investments in energy productivity, eliminate energy waste, ramp up efficiency standards, and deploy the tools and technology needed to build a new energy economy. The residential building sector is responsible for fully 21 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Utility costs (energy and water) account for around 22 percent of public housing operating budgets and a similar share in the assisted housing sector. HUD spends an estimated $6.4 billion annually to cover the costs of utilities in its public and assisted housing programs.1 HUD is committed to creating energyefficient, water-efficient, and healthy housing as part of a broader effort to foster the development of inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities. Investments in energy-efficiency and water-efficiency pay dividends by improving occupant comfort, stabilizing operating costs, alleviating taxpayer burden, preserving affordable housing, ensuring disaster resilience, and mitigating climate change. As such, the Office of Multifamily Housing Programs in HUD’s Office of Housing has taken several steps to encourage greater energy and water efficiency in multifamily housing, including: • Updating and standardizing the utility allowance methodology for assisted properties that must submit annual documentation of utility allowances (estimated 70 percent of portfolio); 2 (See Section ‘‘Other PRA Collections that Impact this Submission’’ for more information on how other previously approved PRA collections relate to Energy Benchmarking). • Offering incentives to multifamily owners and management agents who have joined the Better Buildings Challenge, set a goal of reducing energy and/or water use by 20 percent within 10 years, and established themselves as leaders in the field with respect to energy and/or water efficiency; 3 • Providing access to capital to make energy improvements by implementing changes to the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) underwriting standards in the Multifamily Accelerated Processing Guide (MAP Guide) to allow greater loan proceeds 1 See https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/ documents/huddoc?id=afrfy13_egyeff.pdf. 2 See https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/ huddoc?id=15-04hsgn.pdf. 3 See https://www4.eere.energy.gov/challenge/ home.
