Maximizing the value of energy investments for net-zero buildings in affordable housing


If you missed the webinar on Net Zero Fellow Rob Roy’s research, you will soon be able to watch it on demand.

In the webinar, Roy discusses replicable strategies for analyzing and making decisions about energy investments. The presentation also analyzes energy performance of three completed projects to understand the financial impacts of operating energy performance compared to original projections. Findings from this analysis informed development of a tool that other affordable housing developers and design teams can use to evaluate the impacts of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems over the lifespan of their projects.

The webinar will be posted to the on-demand training page soon. In the meantime, dive into Rob Roy’s research report, where he evaluates the efficacy and replicability of Pacific Crest’s financial model, which considers the long-term monetary impact of implementing various energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems.
