Weatherizing the Homes of Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program Clients: A Programmatic Assessment (PDF 114 KB)
ORNL researchers demonstrate a reduction of emergency energy assistance required by low-income clients of weatherization; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; ORNL/CON-486; 34 pp.; June 2002.
Meeting the Challenge: The Prospect of Achieving 30% Energy Savings Through the Weatherization Assistance Program (PDF 408 KB)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory publishes this report written by Martin Schweitzer and Joel Eisenberg about the potential savings; ORNL/CON-479; 64 pp.; May 2002.
Non-Energy Benefits of Weatherization
ORNL researchers demonstrate substantial energy and non-energy benefits from weatherization. For every dollar of federal funding invested in weatherization, there are $1.83 worth of energy benefits and $1.88 worth of non-energy benefits. Or read the report: Non-Energy Benefits from the Weatherization Assistance Program-A Summary of Findings from Recent Literature (PDF 235 KB); Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Oak Ridge, TN; ORNL/CON-484; 41 pp.; April 2002.
