Evaluation of the Office of Public and Indian Housing’s (PIH) Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Program

The information is being collected to explore and document the effectiveness and value of Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) program. EPCs are an innovative financing technique designed to provide Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) with cost-effective energy improvements that are installed with little or no up-front expenditures, wherein the costs of the improvements are typically borne by the performance contractor and repaid using a portion of the cost savings resulting from the improvements. Since this type of financing began in the 1980s, HUD has approved approximately 315 EPCs, totaling nearly $1.5 billion in investments. EPCs have been executed in all ten HUD regions and in very small (less than 250 units) to very large (more than 6,599 units) PHAs; however, to date; no substantive review of the program’s performance has been conducted.
