Gas or all Electric - Energy Efficiency for MF Development

Jon H.

Posted

We're in the process of Title 24/PV mapping and a Gas/Electric appliance selection for our multifamily development in San Diego, our utility provider is SDGE. 

I understand there are a lot of energy rebates out there for upgrades/improvements but it appears that most all of these are exclusively built for homes occupied by the taxpayer and not for the purposes of use during a larger development. Looking for recommendations and experience with energy efficiency rebates, appliance selection based on value to rental impact (is no gas for new development generally acceptable?) or and any equipment decision-making from those who have built multifamily homes not part of any affordable housing program. 

So far, I have found no programs that a MF development qualifies for and our only benefit is reducing environmental impact, offsetting utility costs with PV.  This leads me to believe that we keep a select few gas appliances in our development if we are to position them for sale in the future.
