Additional Information

EPC Guidebook
A Guidebook was developed in 1992 to outline energy performance contracting by Public Housing Agencies and Indian Housing Authorities (PHAs and IHAs). It defines how performance contracting may be done in accordance with regulations governing HUD's Performance Funding System for Public and Indian Housing. You can view the Guidebook at http://www.huduser.org/publications/hsgfin/energy.html. It covers many of the EPC basics, but for the current, standardized procedures go to the 2005 protocol.
