Weatherization Program

 Works in conjunction with the Fuel Assistance Program  Available to clients at or below 200% of FPG  Funded by the Department of Energy  Free Energy Audits and retrofits  Must Achieve Savings to Investment ratio of 1 or greater  Addresses Health and Safety concerns  All measures must be completed prior to job being complete  Must hold QCI certification

Home Energy Assistance (HEA) Program

 Weatherize homes occupied by low income customers

 Reduce energy costs (more efficient)  Make homes more comfortable and safer

 Heating System Replacements  No cost to customer: 100% of weatherization and heating systems

are paid for by NH EE Programs (or WAP funding)

 Eligibility:

 Qualify for Fuel Assistance (starts at 200% of Federal poverty, can

increase to 60% State Median Income0

 Qualify for Electric Assistance  Section 8 Housing  Multifamily, 4 units and under – 50% of residents must qualify  Multifamily, 5 units and more – 60% of residents must qualify

Funding Sources

 HEA – Cost effectiveness based on a Benefit to Cost

calculation using Utility Avoided Costs. Projects are screened based on the combined B/C ratio of a package of measures.

 HEA - Typically pays for majority of measures which

provide energy savings, in order to obtain the biggest B/C

 HEA - also absorbs some of the necessary Health and

Safety associated with installation of measures. Auditor maintains a package B/C above 1.

 HEA - also assisting with replacement of Energy Star

heating systems

Funding Sources

 DOE – Cost effectiveness based on a Savings to

Investment Ratio. Projects are screened on a measure by measure SIR with some H&S measures counted separately.

 DOE - Pays for some measures HEA can’t absorb,

such as Health and Safety/Repairs when they pulldown the B/C too much for HEA but there are enough energy saving measures to stay above an SIR

• f 1.

 DOE funds are also used for any job not in a CORE

Utility territory (municipal electric) that cannot be leveraged with HEA funds.

How we increased collaboration?

 Intervene and stay at all tables  Successful outcomes for all parties involved  Educate and lead by example  Don’t overpromise

13

Challenges…….

 Rules and regulations  Dual Audit  SIR vs B/C  For profit vs Non profit  Education  Support costs
