The table below is meant <br />to support the <br />calculations of your <br />project's impact; <br />however, it may not <br />capture all aspects of a <br />project. <br />If the table is not able to capture the correct numbers for your project, please enter "N/A" in those <br />specific fields and upload an additional document with this information. <br />Project Impact (do not enter a $ in front of the numbers) <br />Criterion 3 - Project Impact (New) (7).xlsx <br />Optional file upload for <br />project impact <br />calculations. <br />D17. Are there additional <br />impacts? <br />No <br />D18. Please describe <br />any avoided financial <br />costs or savings related <br />to the project and over <br />what period of time <br />those costs will be <br />avoided/reduced. (250 <br />word limit) <br />The double-paned W in core 5400 series windows that will be installed are ENERGY STAR <br />complaint and will save more than $325/year in energy costs per household compared to single <br />pane windows. This corresponds to 20.1 Million Btu or 5,891 kwh per residence per year <br />(employing August 2004 estimates).

Does your project <br />accelerate or expand on <br />existing programs that <br />already show positive <br />impact? (150 word limit) <br />Supplemental programs like this have enabled the W eaver Community Housing Association to <br />provide desirable, affordable housing for Carrboro residents and employees since 2002: <br />https://www.wcha.coop/ . <br />D20. Does your project <br />take advantage of other <br />funding sources? If yes, <br />please describe. (150 <br />word limit) <br />Not currently. <br />D21. Would your <br />proposed project help <br />you to take advantage of <br />funding from other <br />sources besides this <br />grant in the future? (250 <br />word limit) <br />W e are looking into applying for funding from the RTP Environmental Justice Thriving <br />Communities Grant-making Program <br />(EJ TCGM) and hope to do so in 2025-26. Applications are accepted through April 30, 2027. It <br />would benefit our grant application (for more energy-efficient repairs and retrofits to our buildings) <br />if we could use our award of Orange County/Carrboro Community Climate Action funding as a <br />match to the funding we request from EJ TCGM this year. <br />D22. Please describe <br />any other aspect of your <br />project that is relevant to <br />the efficient use of grant <br />funds. (150 word limit) <br />The windows replacement, for which we are requesting funding, will reduce energy bills for every <br />resident in those buildings, and especially those who live in the units where windows are <br />replaced, for at least 20 years. This provides practical and accountable financial assistance to <br />members of the most vulnerable populations in Orange County. It also reduces current <br />greenhouse gas emissions-- not just one time, but throughout the new windows' existence. <br />Criterion 4 - Capacity of Applicant This criterion has a maximum score of 3 pts (out of a total of <br />26 pts). <br />D23. Has your <br />organization completed <br />projects of this type in <br />the past? <br />Yes <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 9BD8B7A7-7606-416D-8B35-9C4C6D7EF1DB
