New requirements are on the way for how HUD Public Housing Authorities are to conduct Physical Needs Assessments and Energy Audits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Public and Indian Housing is issuing a rule in summer 2012 to require synchronization of Energy Audits and Physical Needs Assessments into the Green Physical Needs Assessment (Green PNA), and will require measurement of the cost effectiveness of energy conservation measures.
Under current requirement 24 CFR 905 & CFR 965 Subpart C, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are required to have an Energy Audit performed every five years and Public housing Authorities greater than 250 units are also required to perform a Physical Needs Assessment every five years, with no minimum staff qualifications to perform either the Energy Audit or PNA. New requirements are requiring all Public Housing Authorities, regardless of size, to perform a Physical Needs Assessment in conjunction with an Energy Audit every five years.
