Weatherization Program
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a federal program in the United States that aims to improve the energy efficiency of low-income households. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in collaboration with state and local agencies.
The primary goal of the Weatherization Assistance Program is to reduce energy consumption and lower energy costs for low-income families, particularly those who may struggle to pay their energy bills. This program accomplishes its objectives through various measures, including:
Home energy audits
Trained professionals assess the energy efficiency of eligible homes to identify areas where improvements are needed.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades:
Weatherization services may include adding insulation, sealing air leaks, repairing or replacing heating and cooling systems, and upgrading appliances to more energy-efficient models.
Health and Safety Improvements:
The program also addresses health and safety concerns, such as addressing carbon monoxide and radon issues, and ensuring proper ventilation.
Education:
Recipients of weatherization services may also receive education on energy-efficient practices to help them reduce their energy consumption.
