A weatherization technician conducts duct testing in a home during the “Five Millionth Home” Event. Since its inception, 5.7 million homes have been weatherized nationwide under the Weatherization Assistance Program.

Weatherization is the process by which homes are made more energy efficient. This result is accomplished through a series of relatively easy energy conservation measures. Homes that have been weatherized require less energy to heat and cool, resulting in lower utility bills and a higher standard of living.

Georgia’s Program uses Whole House Weatherization. The Whole-House approach treats the house as a single energy-consuming system, rather than as a loose collection of unrelated pieces of equipment. Whole House Weatherization requires advanced diagnostic skills and cost-effective measure selection and installation.

By expanding the scope of the Program to adopt a whole-house approach and incorporating advanced energy efficiency technologies, it is anticipated that weatherization can achieve significantly greater energy savings; further reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases; increase the leveraging potential of the weatherization network; and expand the Program’s contribution to the economic health and sustainability of the nation’s communities.
