Energy Consumption Modeling

Our energy consumption modeling provides developers and property managers the ability to increase net operating income while maximizing efficiency investments in affordable housing.

There are several options for calculating utility allowances for LIHTC affordable housing properties. For LIHTC properties, especially those at maximum rent, the calculated utility allowances could have a significant effect on rent.

A building owner may calculate utility estimates using an energy and water and sewage consumption and analysis model (energy consumption model). An Energy Consumption Model must at a minimum take into account specific factors including, but not limited to unit size, building orientation, design and materials, mechanical systems, appliances, characteristics of the building location, and available historical data.

What is Energy Consumption Modeling?

Custom utility allowance calculations optimize NOI by lowering the utility allowance.
