Building Working Group ideas regarding ARPAfund use, July 16, 2021
Group members; Matt Krieger, Becky Soglin, Ben Grimm, Jeff Falk)
ARPA intent: Support immediate economic stabilization to households and businesses
Provide immediate economic relief for vulnerable households and businesses, including for energy bills,
but also balance this with longer -term programs such as energy efficiency, which provide savings and
benefits over time (see next item below)
• Outcomes: keep households from spiraling into debt or more debt or risk of homelessness.
• Links to Building Incentive Accelerated Action #2 and to accelerated actions of Adaptation
Education Action #1 (ambassadors can possibly help with outreach to vulnerable households)
and may connect to Adaptation Project Action #4.
ARPA intent: Address systemic challenges; help retain/create lobs
Help with residential weatherization, energy efficiency and lead and asbestos mitigation while
maintaining attention to indoor air quality including radon mitigation and mold and pollen mitigation
(with increased humidity indoor mold will be even more of a problem).
• Outcomes: lower energy bills, better indoor air comfort/health
• Link to existing Accelerated Actions -- scale up efforts related to Building Education 2 and 3;
Building Incentives 1 and 2; and Buildings Regulation 3
ARPA intent: Address systemic challenges
Scale up the home rehabilitation program. Potentially expand to businesses not just homes. As with
point above, consider lead, asbestos and radon mitigation as well as mold and pollen conditions
• Outcomes: more resilient homes; lower utility costs; improved comfort and health
• Approach suggestion: Find a way to address rehabilitation and incentive application program for
larger existing multi -family housing. Model it on what is available for new builds. Potentially
follow model of historic preservation in the Downtown District.
• Concern: Consider whether some homes should be equipped with AC and dehumidification if
they are not. People can then be prepared for the increased temperatures and humidity.
• Concern: Costs to operate AC. In addition, appliance and equipment city -based rebates (water
heaters) is an existing component of the rehab program. Newer/higher efficiency equipment
may cost more to repair or maintain.
ARPA Intent: Address systemic public health and economic challenges.
Resilience planning re Adaptation Accelerated Action #3, Phase 2. Can funds be used for the proposed
resilience hub pilot or related hub such as a place to serve as shelter, resource center, and potentially
temporary education for children if they can't go to school?
• Outcomes: future disaster mitigation from climate impacts; neighborhood scale resources would
be ready.
• High heat events will occur more often; some homes still do not have AC or people are reluctant
to turn on due to cost. A cooling center within the resilience hubs and/or reassurance and funds
to pay for the higher bills would be helpful. Can a building such as the Guidel-ink Center "winter
shelter' be used for cooling?
ARPA intent: Addressing systemic issues
Where possible reducing impervious surfaces around buildings/other built environment, which
contribute not just to stormwater problems but also increased temperatures, especially at night. This
links to Adaptation Accelerated Action #4.
Equity Working Group
07/20/21
• Monica Haddad, a professor at ISU wants to work on the Adaptation section of the CAAP
for a capstone project with her students
• Social Justice and Climate Planning classes:
o Monica plans on giving us updates throughout the project and will attend the
Adaptation group
• We suggest that she also attends the Equity WG meetings
o Basic vulnerability analysis
• Critical infrastructure and climate impacts of that infrastructure
o Gap analysis
• What is in ours and what recommendations for the next update
• What do we need in our CARP; what would be useful?
o Probably have a lot of infrastructure information already and people to help with
that analysis but the social justice (people) aspect is a need
We do not currently have a solid sense on what the capstone project will be yet
and seems fluid but given the course, social justice will probably be a part of it
Sarah will reach out to her to see if she would join us for our August meeting, so
if we have any suggestions or feedback, we can speak with her about it before
the course is finalized
• Adaptation should focus on people
• Climate Action Analyst projects will include:
o Energy efficiency rebate
o GHG inventory
• Other projects for the analysis could include:
o Mapping capabilities is important so mapping projects (proposed and in
progress)
• Help access equity
o Look at key items we identified as a WG
• Carbon sequestration tool demonstration and potential uses
o Thoughtful and responsive group
o Version one in September
o Version two likely to have more customization
o Equity indicator meaning?
o Recommend that adding user data is allowed, renter categories and other
categories needed to help access issues and equity
• Data can be used for the analysis position
• ARP Recommendations
o City has a survey to rank 10 choices
o Specific climate/resilience related items
Equity Working Group
o Equity lens
• Lessen the impact on residents
• Could recommend as a commission
o Do we know what baseline of these items are?
o Do we have good stormwater infrastructure?
• Does it vary?
o FEMA brick program logic model is a good one
• Equity measures, what is successful
• Compare categories
• Indicators of success
• Green Iowa AmeriCorps home energy audits and weatherizations
o Cannot do insulation
o GIA captures measures in logs for their energy audits and weatherizations
• A current member, Evie is putting together information from the
Assessor's website and the GIA logs
• Analyst can use this data
• Possibly map out ACH
o The form given about the blower door testis technical
• Possibility to make it more understandable to everyone and less technical
• Reach out the Shawn and Ashley from GIA in Cedar Falls to see if we can
get this done
o Goal for next team to have people signed up already
• Tie to Climate Fest (50 homes)
o Marketing can bean issue for the home energy audits
• FB marketing (sponsored ads)
• Referrals
• 3rd member going door to door during an audit and talk to
neighbors about what service GIA provides (Outreach
Coordinator)
o Rentals are a barrier
• Landlords and GIA can only do so much in rentals
Adaptation Working Group
July 2111, 2021
• Monica Haddad, ISU professorjoined us. Her Social Justice and Climate Planning class
will be looking at the Adaptation section of the Climate Action Plan, comparing it to
other plans, running a gap analysis, and providing feedback.
o She would also like to join the Equity working group
o Talked about joining the two groups for the time being, while we are working
with her on this project
• ARPA
o Gilbert Court has some storm water issues- it floods
o Using the money for insulation not only addresses equity issues with people who
cannot afford to add it themselves, but it saves money and energy
o Completed Streets
• With trees and other plants to help cool the area and promote walking
o Green Infrastructure should include tree plantings
• The commission can recommend this
o Air source heat pumps
• Could we either use this money of city funds to provide education about
air source heat pumps to contractors
• Possibly connect with the outreach group on this
• Green Iowa AmeriCorps Audits/Weatherizations
Limited in what GIA can provide (no insulation)
Outreach working group may be able to help in where/how to get more
community members signed up for the energy audits
• Currently GIA uses City press releases, the Sustainability Newsletter,
flyers, and tabling at events like the farmers market to sign people up
• Sarah wants to have a table with Ambassadors or members from the new
GIA team tabling at Climate Fest, to get people signed up
• By 2070 Iowa's Climate will be close to Clearwater Kansas' current climate
o What adaptive strategies do they currently have in place?
