Remote energy audits to help PHAs meet HUD’s 5-year compliance.
Per 24 CFR § 965.302, every Public Housing Authority (PHA) is required to complete an energy audit for each agency-owned property at least once every five years. HUD audit standards are aligned with state requirements and equivalent to an ASHRAE Level II audit. These audits must review all relevant energy conservation measures and calculate payback periods specific to the buildings and systems in operation.
Recognizing that small and rural PHAs face unique challenges in maintaining compliance while managing limited budgets and staff capacity, Walker Blue offers a streamlined, fully remote approach to delivering HUD-compliant energy audit reports.
