Project Priorities Survey

For use with Criterion 1.1, the Project Priorities Survey is intended to kick off an integrative design process that prioritizes information gathering, understanding and prioritizing the resident experience, identifying climate hazards, and setting objectives for building performance and resident health and comfort, as well as project coordination and buy-in from all related development stakeholders. 

For big-picture feedback on the Survey, place your comments on the first page of the document. For feedback on an individual word, phrase, or section, place your comments where you see fit.

Welcome to your personal document assistant, powered by AI.

You can ask me questions and I will review the document to provide answers with page references for you. Please be patient, it might take a second and note that I might not always get it right - if you have questions it's easy to check the page sources or contact staff to clarify.

Start with a general question and then follow up with additional questions to narrow the focus of the response if needed.

Question
Some project teams expect the sustainability consultant to complete this document well after starting design, or simply do not understand the underlying concept of integrative design and just don't prioritize it much less actually talk to constituents. Does EGC have any thoughts on how to incentivize (besides this document being mandatory) development and owner teams to complete this exercise according to its actual intent rather than a box-checking exercise after the fact?

Comment
Perhaps asking to have at least one or more community meetings open to the public (residents + community) would best capture feedback from the community than speaking to one person.

Comment
While in support of the goals of the 2026 Criteria, especially the focus on health, energy, and resilience. I remain concerned about the overall cost burden of certification on affordable housing. Both direct consultant fees and indirect costs from prescriptive requirements increase per-unit costs at a time when affordable housing is under heavy public scrutiny for being too expensive. Enterprise should consider streamlining compliance pathways so that the Criteria advance sustainability without reducing affordability.

Question
Is signature of developer/owner no longer needed?

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:26PM on page 5

Comment
may need to offer examples for #2 or better explain "aspects"

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:25PM on page 5

Comment
If include fuel types question in PPS, remove from the EGC online forms when registering the project

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:25PM on page 3

Comment
Include recommendation to compensate residents and community members for their time and expertise

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:24PM on page 3

Comment
Suggest requiring talking to more than "one" resident - it's too limited and very difficult to glean insight from. At least 6? This could still be a single conversation in the form of a focus group, etc.

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:23PM on page 2

Comment
Consider removing "supportive housing" and "mixed income" from this section and adding a question about AMI % serving (usually a range) and, if supportive housing, asking if there is wrap around services.

Comment
Agree. Or remove as it may be covered by items above and/or "other"

Rachelle Macur Aug 14 2025 at 3:20PM on page 1

Comment
For the whole doc it would be nice to have some graphic design work done. It's too much text and feels overwhelming ... ideally simplify, reduce text, and add images/graphics where we can

Comment
Missing power outages - very critical from a resilient design standpoint

Erin Feeney Aug 8 2025 at 2:20PM on page 6

Comment
This relies on historic data. It would be good to encourage teams to look at future data.

Erin Feeney Aug 8 2025 at 1:52PM on page 3

Comment
Also a good idea to talk to maintenance staff

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:28PM on page 6

Comment
As noted in another comment, also suggest asking for more detail on whether they only review present-day historic data or if they also looked at future climate projections and what time horizons/climate scenarios they looked at.

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:26PM on page 5

Comment
Could we specifically prompt consideration for solar + storage to support some of these systems as well (and provide backup with the storage which provides a resilience benefit)?

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:25PM on page 5

Comment
I will take a look at Criterion 5.1 as well to see if this is integrated there, but I suggest that we also flag in this section that these upgrade and replacement decisions should also integrate resilience needs, e.g. moving equipment if replacing and susceptible to flooding, providing additional backup power if needed, etc.

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:23PM on page 5

Comment
Suggest broadening this statement to also include climate resilience - health impacts can also occur from wildfire smoke, extreme heat (especially if the building does not have access to cooling), etc.

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:20PM on page 4

Comment
This could also be connected with resilience - if residents have specific medical needs that require refrigeration for medicine for example, then the project should make sure to include backup power to ensure residents have access to medicine in a power outage, etc.

Comment
Agreed with this! In addition to resilience hubs, it would be great to prompt users to connect their mission statement with a clear definition of what resilience means for the project.

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 12:14PM on page 7

Comment
When asking if the hazard is applicable, consider layering in a question about whether the hazard is applicable in the present-day risk vs. future climate risk (and which future climate scenario was used - year, specific RCP/SSP, etc.)

Katie Wholey Aug 7 2025 at 10:18AM on page 6

Comment
Agreed with the comment below about the fact that there are other national tools that could be utilized as well. I would suggest that this reads more like... "if state plans are unavailable, utilize relevant national climate and hazard data sources. Some examples include..."

Comment
We need someone to explain to the Seniors or anyone at the Edgewood Campus why do you want Solar and what is the benefit. Not someone who comes in to sign up individuals without explaining solar.

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 7:05PM on page 2

Comment
Would spell out more what is meant by this

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 6:52PM on page 7

Comment
Resilience hubs also could be a good example, link

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 6:50PM on page 2

Comment
Suggest adding tribal populations, pediatric (under 18), persons with behavioral health conditions (mental health and substance use disorders)

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 6:45PM on page 6

Comment
Other tools also may be available see e.g., link;link;link

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 6:40PM on page 4

Comment
Maybe also note that these can be online surveys, focus groups, etc., in-person or perhaps best a mix of methods

Mitchell Jul 29 2025 at 6:38PM on page 2

Comment
Add 'persons with mental health conditions and substance use disorders'; add tribal or indigenous populations; define 'populations affected by certain traumas', add pediatric populations/youth (<18)
