period.
Weatherization Assistance Program 11
Impacts of SEP ARRA
Selected ARRA achievements through
Spring 2011:
• 165 million square feet of building space
retrofitted to increase energy efficiency.
• $290 million in loans made for energy-
efficiency and renewable-energy projects.
• 452 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity
installed.
• 118,000 Americans trained in energy-
efficiency and/or renewable-energy issues.

Energy Enhances Lives
Weatherization Assistance Program 13
The largest residential energy efficiency program in the nation, providing weatherization services to low-income families:
– Low-income households typically spend 14.4% of their total income on energy vs. 3.3% for other households
– 58 ARRA Grantees contract with 1,007 local sub-grantees to deliver services to single-family, multi-family, and mobile homes
A federally-funded, state-administered, locally-operated grant program:
– WAP received $5 billion dollars under ARRA – $29 million in ARRA funds to establish 26 new Weatherization Training Centers (WTC) & supplement 8 existing centers.

New Activities for WAP in 2010-11
Weatherization Assistance Program 16
WAP - Leveraging Partnerships and Expanding Resources
Leveraging and Expanding Partnerships:
– 31 states leverage utility funds each year
– $140 million - $210 million leveraged annually since 2005 from private sources
– $350 million - $500 million leveraged annually from federal and non-federal sources since 2005 (e.g. LIHEAP funds from HHS)
Training crews and contractors to become part of a broader workforce:
– DOE partnering with HUD, EPA, CDC, & HHS on new Healthy Homes initiative - Local crews receiving training in LEAD to look health issues.
– Agencies performing HUD projects and Ag rural housing rehabilitation
– National Residential Retrofit Guidelines:
• Creating standard work specifications/ assisting training providers in developing consistent course content
• Increasing workforce mobility: Laying a foundation for worker certification and training program accreditation architecture
• Building confidence among consumers
Weatherization Assistance Program 17
Monitoring WIP’s Investments
WAP • Desktop, Onsite
and Follow-up Reviews
• Based on the value of the grant
SEP • Minimum two
annual visits to each of the 56 SEP Grantees
• Validate records keeping, policies, processes, and sub-recipient monitoring
EECBG • Project Officers
have conducted a total of 533 onsite visits, which is 5% ahead of schedule
Weatherization Assistance Program 18
Mission
Identify leading grantees, outline best practices and promote the adoption of sustainable models
Best Practices • Leading by example • Financing strategies • Policy/codes/regulations • Outreach and coalition building
Recognizing themes • Consumer savings through energy efficiency • Education and workforce development • Improvements in public infrastructure • Supporting small businesses, American
manufacturing & retooling • Saving taxpayer dollars through efficiencies in
govt., commercial & residential buildings
