The Austin Energy Multi-Family Program had its beginnings in 1986 with an energy audit of 145 properties that were considered for a pilot program that was yet to be defined. After several years of trials and tribulations, the Multi-Family Incentive Pilot Program launched October 1, 1989. The pilot was successful and the Multi-Family Program soon became a standard rebate offering, helping residents of multi-family communities in Austin save on their energy bills while enjoying more comfortable apartment homes. With little exception, the bulk of the program as it was originally designed has remained unchanged. More details of the FY14 and FY15 programs can be found in our annual report at https://austinenergy.com/wps/wcm/connect/3c27e063-b577-4a6f-835a-4338db2c1401/5-7-15+CES+Spreads+ReportReduced.pdf?MOD=AJPERES . The multifamily program is found on pages 12-13 (page 7 in the downloaded version), with detailed tables on pages 26-30 (pages 14-16 on the downloaded version). You can also find details about the current program at https://powersaver.austinenergy.com/wps/portal/psp/multifamily/ . Thanks.

I called Ms. Kuehn’s number and a message said that she was out of town. I am reviewing the report and we do not have a history of the multi-family ee program: when did it start; what did it first offer; how and when did it change; have costs of the program increased. How was program eligibility established to ensure funding was going to low and low-moderate income customers? In other words, something along what we discuss involving the history of the low income weatherization program. Lanetta M. Cooper
