WIP’s Network Involvement

Through its existing network of state, territory, county, city, tribal, stakeholder and private-sector partnerships, WIP is uniquely positioned within EERE to: Lay the groundwork for wide-spread adoption of codes and standards to drive private-sector demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies; Develop and market financing opportunities to spur the production of and demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies; Garner support for EERE technology development by reinforcing the link between clean energy technology deployment and economic development; and Communicate the availability of new products developed by EERE R&D Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program 5

Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) Performance Under the Recovery Act

To date, WAP has weatherized over

650,000 HOMES

including nearly…

165,000 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS

In quarter four of 2011, WAP supported

13,230 jobs.

Nationwide, the weatherization of 650,000 homes is estimated to save $350 million in energy costs in just the first year.

WAP ranks

2 nd IN JOB CREATION

as reported on Recovery.gov Approximately 32,000 homes were weatherized in the final month of 2011 alone. This is the highest month of production using Recovery Act funds.

Period of Performance Modifications

SEP, EECBG, WAP ARRA Grants

WAP: 54 of the 58 grantees requested a period of performance modification ranging from 3 to 18 months. 96% of the requests have been reviewed and approved.

SEP: 40 of 56 SEP grantees requested modifications. All have been reviewed and 39 have been approved thus far. 1 is still under consideration pending additional information. EECBG: To date, 8 grantees, including 5 states have requested modifications. For non-State/Territory recipients – If a grantee requests a modification, their request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program 11

WAP Investing in the Future

Under the Recovery Act, DOE invested nearly $139 million in Training and Technical Assistance to lay the foundation for high quality energy upgrades in America’s homes.

The Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals

The WAP Standardized Training Curriculum Training Center Grants National Weatherization Training Portal Multifamily Suite of Resources Weatherization Plus Health Initiative The Weatherization Plus 2015 Initiative is an expanded focus on whole-house energy usage and whole-community efforts.

WAP intends to revive the initiative started in 1999 and carried through mid-2006 with strategic planning efforts to reach the goals of four subcommittees:

• • • • Leverage assistance Developing new markets Improving quality Messaging of program Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program 12

Weatherization: The Roots of the Home Energy Performance Industry

Continued funding gives WAP the ability to take on long term projects and partnerships that support the entire industry • • • Audit Tools Lab Research Building Science Case Studies • • Training Network Coordination with Federal agencies: HUD, EPA, USDA Leveraging

WAP funding has long been a catalyst for leveraging additional weatherization funds for grantees.

• This consistent resource allows other opportunities to grow • In PY2010 WAP was expected to leverage approximately $4.45 in federal and non-federal resources for every $1 invested by DOE

Policy and Technical Assistance Post-Recovery Act

Continued Focus: drive market transformation in energy efficiency and renewable energy while creating jobs and economic development Seeking input to help shape WIP’s new policy and technical assistance platform Coordinating with state and local governments after the end of the Recovery Act.

Looking Ahead – Post Recovery Act

Energy efficiency is a top priority energy resource

Savings, Jobs, Competiveness, Economy, Environment Federal dollars will lessen post-ARRA…but the mission continues! The Recovery Act laid the groundwork for the next phase of

investment.

The source of future investment will largely come from the financial communities and

leveraging

will be vital.
