We wanted to draw your attention to a Request for Information Notice (RFI) issued by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Multifamily Housing to obtain market information regarding energy and water benchmarking support services and to receive industry feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). This is being issued solely for information and planning purposes.
The RFI will close on Nov 7, 2022, and responses must be submitted electronically, via email, no later than 2:00pm ET.
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing will be seeking Energy and Water Benchmarking support services.
Services shall include:
- Creating a strategy that will support MFH property owners and agents (POAs) in their efforts to gather, track, and analyze project-level utility consumption and costs (owner- and tenant-paid) across the Multifamily portfolio and submit that information to HUD.
- Facilitating and encouraging sustained owner engagement in collecting and evaluating energy usage data and promoting conservation measures and investments in improved energy and water efficiency.
- Reporting and analysis to HUD on energy and water consumption and associated GHG emissions of the HUD-assisted multifamily portfolio.
Through this RFI, HUD aims to identify sources that can provide Energy and Water Benchmarking support services. Interested vendors are those vendors who have interest in providing a response to RFI and who can provide a vendor capability statement demonstrating a commercial solution and technical experience for this requirement, including relevant scope in terms of its size, complexity and magnitude to the tasks/activities to be performed under this requirement, particularly, as it pertains to the support services and technical solutions required for the HUD’s Energy and Water Benchmarking support services. All capable and available firms are encouraged to participate.
