Weatherizing 82,000 Homes This Summer
By Cathy Zoi - Assistant Secretary for Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy
Picture a neighborhood block somewhere in your town. It might have single-story homes for 10 families -- complete with front porches, sidewalks and green lawns. Or instead that block might have a single apartment building that houses 50 families over five floors. What we know is that each of the families -- whether they're living in a detached house or a mid-rise apartment -- pays away some of their hard-earned dollars to pay for energy. And for many low-income Americans, these energy bills absorb a significant amount of the family income.
Now imagine that teams of trained experts come down that block and install measures to help those families save energy. Insulation, caulking, weatherstripping, windows, better furnaces or water heaters. So families' energy bills go down and their comfort goes up. We call this 'weatherization' -- and it's happening in more than 82,000 homes as part of the Recovery Summer.
