Our budget here is the same.Once all the internal bits are done we will reside the building - and are planning to add another 1" of polyisocyanurate hardboard insulation {which will require removing and resetting the windows we just installed to adjust for the new wall thickness ... a little rework that we have not found a way to avoid {yet}]Once all the above has been completed, we will conduct our "post retrofit" energy audit to see if we hit our target of scoring 75+ out of 100 with fewer than 3 air changes per hour.As you stated, the long term goal is to keep our buildings attractive to tenants by making them healthy, efficient and modern (while retaining their historic charm) homes as energy costs rise.
