Durham Housing: Energy Efficiency and Affordability Tobin L. Freid Sustainability Manager Durham City & County

What to expect  Residential Energy Retrofit Programs  Affordable Housing – System Vision – Southside – Transit Oriented Development

Residential Energy Retrofit Programs  709 Homes Retrofit  2,000+ volunteer hours  50+ community workshops  30% leveraged funds

What we did  Air sealing  Duct sealing  Attic insulation  Programmable thermostats  Efficient showerheads and aerators  CO detectors

Energy Retrofit Programs  985,733 sq ft  R13 Average before  R38 Average after  467 Thermostats  662 Showerheads  1,384 Aerators  546 CO monitors

Benefits  Average savings of $400 per household (estimated)  $284,000 annual savings total program  Over 2 million kWh per year  1,800 metric tons GHG avoided  CO testing

Benefits were consistent
