Common use of Multiple-Unit Dwellings Clause in Contracts

Multiple-Unit Dwellings. Weatherization is designed to take place with a whole building as a system approach, so multi-unit dwellings will be considered if 66% of the residents (50% for duplexes and four-unit buildings) are income eligible. This allows the entire structure to be weatherized. If the entire multi-unit dwelling is weatherized (i.e., the ‘completed home’ criteria is met for all the units), all units may be counted as completions. If a multi-unit on the HUD or USDA list is at the top of the prioritized customer waiting list, it may be completed following all other requirements for weatherization of multi-unit dwellings. DCAA does not have an approved audit for multi-unit dwellings (5 or more units) so if this type of dwelling comes to the top of the priority waiting list, an outside source will be utilized to provide a DOE-approved energy audit. Required information will be submitted to the DOE Project Officer for approval before weatherization work begins on structures containing 5 or more units.
