Book Description
The DOE Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their households more energy efficient. The DOE program guidelines specify that a variety of energy efficiency measures are eligible for support under the program. The measures include insulation, space-heating equipment, energy-efficient windows, water heaters, and efficient air conditioners. This book explores the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Weatherization Assistance Program, with a focus on its background, brief history of funding, program evolution, program activity, and program assessments and benefit-cost evaluations.

Book Description
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is one of the largest energy conservation programs in the nation. The DOE program is implemented in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Native American Tribes. It weatherizes an average of 70,000 dwellings per year. The program strives to increase the energy efficiency of dwellings occupied by low-income persons in order to reduce their energy consumption and lower their fuel bills. It targets vulnerable groups including the elderly, people with disabilities, and families with children. The Weatherization Assistance Program is a formula grant program in which funding flows from the federal government to state governments and then to local weatherization agencies. The program is authorized under Title IV of the Energy Conservation and Production Act (P.L. 94-385, as amended) but has been operating without an appropriations authorization since 1990. Through the general appropriations process, Congress has continued to provide annual grants to support weatherization activities. For FY2002, $230 million was appropriated for the Weatherization Assistance Program. This was $43 million below the Bush Administration's FY2002 request of $273 million, and short of the President's goal to increase DOE's WAP spending by $1.4 billion over the next 10 years. On February 4, 2002, the Administration issued its budget request for FY2003. The request included $277 million for weatherization grants. This amount represents a 20% increase above last years appropriation. This report provides background on WAP and will be updated to reflect changes in legislation or funding.

Book Description
In this interactive workshop, attendees will hear from Grantees and Subgrantees of the U.S. Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), that have implemented innovative methods, materials and approaches in their weatherization program. Attendees will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and share their own stories and perspectives in breakout groups. Attendees will also learn how their state and agency may be able to work with the National Renewable Energy Lab and Oak Ridge National Lab on WAP-funded pilot projects to scale innovative methods throughout the WAP network.
