What if my multifamily building consists of multiple garden-style buildings?
Garden style apartment complexes usually consist of multiple low-rise apartments, cooperatives, condominiums and/or townhouses surrounded by landscaped grounds. These types of complexes will be treated as one project under Pay for Performance. In other words, if there are 10 garden-style buildings that are part of one multifamily community, all 10 will be aggregated into one Pay for Performance application. The 100kW participation threshold will be met through this aggregation (including common area and in-unit billing). The 15% savings requirement (as well as all other program requirements) will be achieved in aggregate, as well. The same process will apply for affordable-rate housing, except for the fact that they will not need to meet the 100kW requirement to participate. Only one set of incentives will be paid per project, and all incentive caps apply. All other program rules apply.
