Applying the cost-effective energy standards in rehabilitation projects
The guide explains to local Community Development managers and others how to apply HUD's Cost Effective Energy Conservation Standards (CEECS) to properties they rehabilitate. It explains what the CEECS require in terms of energy conservation measures and the procedures for calculating cost - effectiveness for both single - family and multifamily buildings. Requirements for all buildings include weatherstripping, caulking, and, when replacing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, insulation of supply and return pipes and ducts in unconditioned spaces. The step - by - step method for calculating cost - effectiveness of conservation measures requires identification and consideration of the fuel consumption over the life of the improvement, rate of heat loss from building, number of heating days and cooling hours, heating value of fuel, and other values. Enclosed charts can be used to calculate the variables. An energy audit questionnaire and worksheets are also provided. The various HUD rehabilitation programs in which the CEECS are required include the Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan program, the Community Development Block Grant program, Section 203 (k) Home Mortgage Insurance program, Section 8 Substantial Rehabilitation Program, and the Flexible Subsidy program. Tables; forms, including an energy audit questionnaire; a glossary of terms; and a list of HUD area offices are provided.
