## Multifamily Approach	

- Core program is weatherization
- We combine Energy Trust incentives with the State’s
- Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC)
- These cover ~ 50%+ of project cost
- Targeted outreach to property owners and management firms
- City of Portland’s Office of Sustainable Development is the project manager for all MF projects under subcontract with CSG.
- OSD does all the project paperwork and BETC filing
