The St. Louis Year VII project built on previous work conducted in St. Louis to demonstrate the technology and financing of superinsulated housing, to implement a full-scale, energy efficient housing program in St. Louis. The project also involved the transfer of elements of the St. Louis program to assist Hennepin County in establishing a program to promote energy efficient new residential construction in Minnesota. During the project, Hennepin County (Minneapolis, Minnesota) presented the results of a performance contracting program implemented in Years V and VI to provide energy retrofit for existing homeowners in Minneapolis. This program has special appeal in St. Louis because of the difficulty in motivating middle-income homeowners to invest in conservation options.
