Weatherization Benefits

THE WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WORKS TO...

• Reduce energy costs and alleviate high

  energy burden for low-income families


• Decrease the nation's energy consumption

   and reduce dependence on imported oil


• Improve local air quality and avoid green

  house gas emissions


• Provide economic boost in low-income

  communities


• Educate consumers in energy efficiency

  practices

Community Impact

Weatherization helps revitalize communities by spurring economic growth and reducing environmental impacts.

WEATHERIZATION:

•  Reduces the export of local energy dollars

   and keeps more money in the community.


•  Improves energy affordability, making

   housing more affordable. This reduces  

   cases of homelessness and frequent force

   mobility and lowers demand for public

   assistance.


•  Decreases electricity generation and

   resulting pollution. This improves local air  

   quality and reduces adverse health effects,

   particularly asthma.


• Reduces demand for imported oil. Decreases

  national energy consumption by the equivalent  

  of 18 million barrels of oil annually.

Energy Impact

Weatherization alleviates the heavy burden on low-income households and helps them become self sufficient. 

WEATHERIZATION MEASURES:

•  Create average energy savings of $413 per year.


•  Are "locked" into the home and continue to save  

   money and energy every year.


•  Improve health and safety by eliminating

    energy-related hazards.


•  Cooling costs are significantly reduced.

More than 6,000,000 homes have been weatherized across the U.S. since inception of the Weatherization Assistance Program in 1976.

WEATHERIZATION SERVICES

Weatherization crews use computerized energy audits and diagnostic equipment, such as blower door, manometer, or infrared camera, to determine the most cost-effective measures appropriate for each home. Typical measures include installing insulation in the walls and attics; reduces air infiltration and pressure imbalances; sealing and repairing ductwork; and tuning and repairing heating and cooling units.

PROGRAM OPERATION

Louisiana Housing Corporation, (LHC) works in partnership with local-level agencies to implement the Program. The Department of Energy (DOE) awards grants to state-level agencies, which then contract with local agencies. Weatherization programs operate in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and among Native American tribes. Local agencies deliver weatherization services to eligible residents in every parish in the state.

The Program prioritizes services to the elderly, people with disabilities, and families with children. "High energy consumers" or households with a high energy burden may

also receive priority.
