Energy Efficiency Updates at TGNCDC Properties

2 years 8 months ago

TGNCDC is committed to making all rental properties more energy-efficient, especially our own portfolio.

We invested in energy efficiency improvements at (2) four-family buildings, utilizing Ameren’s Income Eligible Rebate program, co-delivered with Spire. We worked with Ameren’s program implementer, International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology, for audits and rebates and provided feedback on program delivery to the utilities at the Missouri Energy Efficiency Advisory Collaborative - Low Income Work Group.  Grants from the U.S. Bank Foundation helped make the projects possible.

At 3606-08 Bamberger the project included:

  • installing (26) energy star rated windows

  • (4) 15.5 SEER central A/C

  • (4) 96% efficient gas furnaces, programmable thermostats

  • LED bulbs

  • shower and faucet aerators

  • total cost = $41,096.30,

  • ·rebate = $10,015.68

  • U.S. Bank Foundation contributed = $25,000

  • projected annual electric savings = $635

  • projected annual natural gas savings = $1,340

At 3169-71 Alfred, the project includes

  • installing (36) energy star rated windows

  • (2) 9% efficient gas furnaces

  • programmable thermostats

  • LED bulbs

  • shower and faucet aerators

  • (4) energy star gas water heaters, to be installed

  • Estimated total cost = $25,227

  • Estimated rebate = $6,848

  • U.S. Bank Foundation contributed = $30,000

  • projected annual electric savings = $765

  • projected annual natural gas savings = $914.  

In addition to working on our properties, we also worked with many like-minded organizations on the Energy Efficiency for All Grant, logging more than 800 hours advocating for healthy, energy efficient, affordable housing.

We look forward to continuing this work in 2022!
