Preservation Through Energy Efficiency Initiative

National Housing & Rehabilitation Association

Effectively managing utility expenditures presents an important business opportunity for affordable housing owners in every stage of the development life-cycle. Targeted investments can decrease operating expenses and increase cash flow, open up new fee opportunities, increase effective rents and enhance the residual added value of an entire portfolio.

Enter NH&RA’s latest initiative — Preservation Through Energy Efficiency (PTEE). With generous support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, this was designed to empower decision-makers at affordable housing companies to take immediate executive actions that can create portfolio-wide energy and water efficiencies.

The initiative will feature a series of five regional “Road Shows”, convening affordable housing executives, along with technical and financial experts to discuss transactional opportunities around energy and utility efficiency. The events will be supplemented with the PTEE Knowledge Exchange, a dynamic digital companion to the Road Shows featuring searchable online resource center, discussion forums, educational webinars and more
