  • WEATHERIZATION WORKS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 39.5 Million
    WEATHERIZATION WORKS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mission The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (Weatherization or the Program) reduces energy costs for low-income 39.5 million households by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring households are eligible their health and safety. for Weatherization Weatherization has operated for over 40 years and is the nation’s largest single “whole house” energy efficiency program. Its primary purpose, established by law, is: “…to increase the energy efficiency of dwellings owned or occupied by low-income persons, reduce their total residential energy expenditures, and improve their health and safety, especially low-income persons who are particularly vulnerable such as the elderly, the disabled, and children.” The Program provides energy efficiency services to an average of35,000 homes annually with congressional appropriated funds while reducing annual energy costs by an average of $283 or more per household1. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act) (Public Law 111-5), the Program weatherized over 1,000,000 homes during three years of the Act2. These low-income households are often on fixed incomes or rely on income assistance programs and are most vulnerable to volatile changes in the economy or energy markets. High energy users or households with a high energy burden also receive priority for weatherization services. Operations DOE works in partnership with state and local-level agencies to implement the Program. The Department awards formula grants to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories and Native American tribes, which then usually contract with local agencies.

    Midwest Weatherization Best Practices Field Guide for the US Department ofEnergy Weatherization Assistance Program May 2007 This document was prepared as an account of work sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Midwest Regional Office under cooperative agreement DE-FC45-02R530599. Neither the U.S. Department of Energy, nor any of their employees, makes any warranty, express or implied, or assumes any legal responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information or process disclosed. Reference herein to any specific commercial product, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer or otherwise does not constitute endorsement, recommendation or favoring by the United States Government or any agency thereof. We help people enjoy a more comfortable home, a home that costs less to live in, a home that is safer and a home that is healthier. We help people – that is what the Weatherization Assistance Program is all about. Saving people money, improving the environment, saving energy and helping the economy are the results of our efforts. The Midwest is the center of Weatherization activity in the nation. One-third of the U.S. Department of Energy’s program is operated in the eight states that comprise the Midwest Region. These eight states provide some of the highest quality service and innovative approaches available to addressing the energy needs of the low-income community. Since the 1970’s, when the Weatherization Program began, our efforts were often not as effective as they are today. We would put storm doors and windows on most homes, blow some insulation in the attic and caulk any crack we could find.
