About Physical Needs Assessments (PNAs)
The Nelrod Company and its certified staff have over 27 years experience in providing large, medium, and small agencies assistance in planning and implementing modernization programs. We assisted the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in developing the new Green Physical Needs Assessment tool and guidebook. All public housing agencies are required utilize this tool in conducting a comprehensive assessment of the physical condition of their housing stock, as well as, all sites and other facilities. Additionally, agencies are required to conduct energy audits of all developments. These audits must be performed by state licensed energy auditors or certified personnel with current credentials from a HUD recognized national building science accreditation body and meet new HUD standards. Results from energy audits must be incorporated into the GPNA
The Nelrod Company personnel are accredited building science professionals and have extensive experience conducting GPNAs and Energy Audits.
