Energy & Sustainability

D3G performs sustainability and energy studies of existing and proposed housing and healthcare facilities. We are pleased to have completed the first ever Green Property Condition Assessment (GPCA) for the HUD OAHP Mark-to-Market program, and we were a primary go-to consultant for the ARRA Green Retrofit multifamily program. An objective of the Green PCA report is to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency, maximize utility efficiency, and increase a property's sustainability. A key benefit of the GPCA is to capitalize upon utility reduction, whereby lessening the resident's burden and increasing a property's net operating income (NOI). Areas of Green consulting and investigations include:

• Green Property Condition Reports/Capital Needs Assessments
• Portfolio Energy Consumption Reviews
• Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)
• Energy Auditing (Level 1 and Level 2)
• Utility Allowance Studies (Section 8, HUD, SFHA)
• Building Tightness Evaluation (Blower Door Testing)
• Facility Energy Benchmarking
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
• Green Operations and Maintenance Manuals and Training
• USGBC LEED and Earthcraft construction document review
• Building Performance Institute (BPI) Analysis
