Trends Multifamily units account for nearly a quarter of the total housing market in the Southeast. The majority of multifamily units tend to be concentrated in the Southeast s major metropolitan areas. New construction multifamily projects are large and generate substantial project value. Renovation multifamily projects are smaller than new construction, but there are more renovation projects total. 19
Opportunities Real Estate Developers and Contractors Focus on new construction Cities and metro areas Renovation opportunities for smaller projects Utilities and Program Administrators Inclusion of technologies or measures in new construction Utilize metro infrastructure for program marketing Lifecycle relationships State and Local Government Agencies and NGOs Targeting or aligning incentives/programs Ordinances or policies Financing 20

Key Takeaways Utility program coverage is spotty, but growing. Multifamily buildings have unique needs and characteristics that may not be served by other programs. Numerous tools exist to support energy efficiency opportunities for multifamily housing. Resources and support tools are often shared between numerous actors. Additional research is needed to better understand and capture the multifamily energy efficiency opportunity in the Southeast. 30
Other Considerations What is the economic impact of multifamily building projects on state and local economies? What factors are contributing to a greater number of multifamily renovation projects? How energy-efficient is the Southeast s multifamily building stock? What are the largest contributors to energy usage? Do standalone utility-administered multifamily programs perform better than those that serve multifamily properties as a subset of broader programs? Has spending grown for existing utility-administered energy efficiency programs? How does the relative level of spending and savings of these programs compare nationally? What barriers prevent southeastern utilities covering multifamily-rich geographies from offering programming to serve multifamily properties? What challenges and opportunities have utility program administrators that are offering multifamily programs identified in their work? What is the impact of benchmarking on encouraging energy savings in multifamily properties? Are there successful models from other regions that support greater coordination of the multiple actors involved in multifamily energy efficiency efforts? 31
