美国政府通过一系列补贴住房计划投资于多户住房。这些计划提供了一个场所，了解管理多户住宅的法规如何影响业主进行节能投资的动机，以及租户降低能耗水平的愿望。本文实证检验了补贴住房制度对低收入家庭多户住宅能效的影响。我们开始通过构建一个独特的数据库，将实际能源使用与物理，社会经济和监管特征的所有大型多户物业在纽约市，重点是物业是否收到联邦租金补贴。我们采用多元回归模型来研究影响多户建筑能耗的因素，并将补贴住房与市场价格住房进行比较，控制一系列建筑和家庭特征。我们发现，补贴的属性与更高的能源消耗比类似的市场价格的属性，补贴住房计划，公共住房往往消耗最多的能源。我们的研究结果表明，尽管改造多户住宅的潜力，以及相关的成本，能源和碳排放的节省，监管因素限制了投资和消费决策的情况下，补贴的财产。因此，减少补贴住房的能源使用取决于修改现有法规。
The U.S. government has invested in multifamily housing through an array of subsidized housing programs. These programs provide a venue for understanding how regulations governing multifamily housing can affect an owner's incentive to make energy efficient investments, and a tenant's desire to reduce their energy consumption levels. This paper empirically tests the impact of subsidized housing regulations on the energy efficiency of multi-family housing for low-income households. We begin by constructing a unique database that integrates actual energy use with physical, socioeconomic, and regulatory characteristics of all large multifamily properties in New York City, focusing on whether a property receives a federal rental subsidy. We employ multivariate regression models to examine the factors that influence energy consumption in multi-family buildings and compare subsidized housing to market-rate housing, controlling for a range of building and household characteristics. We find that subsidized properties are associated with higher energy consumption than similar market-rate properties and, of the subsidized housing programs, Public Housing tends to consume the most energy. Our results suggest that despite the potential for retrofitting multifamily properties, and associated cost, energy, and carbon emissions savings, regulatory factors constrain investment and consumption decisions in the case of subsidized properties. Reducing energy use in subsidized housing, therefore, rests on modifying existing regulations.
