Welcome!

This site has been created to help our evaluation team communicate with state weatherization offices, local weatherization agencies and utilities during the data gathering stage of the national evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program.

Our team consists of APPRISE, Blasnik & Associates, Dalhoff Associates and the Energy Center of Wisconsin. The Energy Center will serve as the team's single point of contact for state offices and local agencies in an effort to make the evaluation process as smooth as possible.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managing the national evaluation on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy. Visit their weatherization website.

News about the evaluation

December 15, 2011
The WAP evaluation team is gearing up to begin the ARRA-period evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program. This study will measure the impact of weatherization during the ARRA period (PY 2009, 2010 and 2011), with a focus on Program Year 2010. The scope includes weatherization funded by regular WAP allocations from DOE as well as ARRA, SERC and WIPP grants. The ARRA-period data collection effort will begin in early 2012 once authorization from the Office of Management and Budget is received.

For state and local agency staff who participated in the retrospective WAP evaluation (PY 2008), the data requests for the ARRA-period evaluation will look quite familiar. By fielding a similar set of surveys, we will be able to compare the results achieved under the ARRA period with the pre-ARRA baseline measured during the retrospective evaluation.

If you work for a state weatherization office or local agency, the evaluation team will send you detailed information about what you'll be asked to do once OMB approval is received. In the meantime, you can view the draft survey instruments and presentations about the ARRA-period evaluation.

And if you're interested in results from the retrospective WAP evaluation, ORNL will begin publishing reports and key findings in 2012. We will link to these reports as they are published.
