Challenge/Local/State

Description

Challenge

Multifamily retrofits face a persistent “split incentive” problem: landlords bear the costs of upgrades while tenants capture most of the utility savings. Renters often lack authority to make improvements, and property owners are reluctant to invest when tenants pay the utility bills. This misalignment of costs and benefits discourages investment in energy efficiency and electrification upgrades, even when technically feasible.
