Utility Allowance Modeling For Low Income Housing Tax Credit Properties

Our team conducts utility allowance modeling for multifamily affordable housing developments across the United States. Developers and managers of these properties have the option of providing actual consumption data or conducting energy consumption modeling in lieu of adopting local utility allowances. In the cases where the actual consumption or the modeled consumption is lower than the published utility allowance, the developer or management company can increase its profit and recover money invested in water and energy efficiency upgrades. The cost of conducting a water or energy consumption model can generally be recovered in less than three months. 

To date, Plummer has completed more than 300 utility allowance models across 32 states while increasing net revenue for our customers by more than $17 million dollars per year.
