Background

• More than 70 percent of multifamily housing

units were constructed nationwide before building energy efficiency codes were established.

• More than 26% of residential building stock in

Duquesne Light’s service territory is multifamily housing.

• The large population coupled with the age of these

buildings means there is significant energy savings potential.

• Efficiency upgrade programs can make a big difference in individual lives

while supporting ambitious energy and climate change goals.

Multifamily Market Manager Model

 Partners with utility providers, local

governments, housing agencies and property management companies to achieve energy savings

 Provides a central point for serving

multifamily housing owners with programs and incentives to save energy

• Services that can be offered include:
