Program Objective<br />
Low <strong>Inc</strong>ome Audit & Weatherization<br />
The objective of the Low <strong>Inc</strong>ome Audit & Weatherization Program is to target and significantly<br />
weatherize qualified low income single family homes and low-rise multi-family dwellings.<br />
Program Description<br />
This <strong>program</strong> targets a hard to reach income qualified segment of the market. The<br />
implementation contractor will work with <strong>Entergy</strong> to set criteria to identify and qualify targeted<br />
homes for participation in the <strong>program</strong>. The approach is to conduct the <strong>program</strong> with audit and<br />
installation practices similar to national public weatherization grant <strong>program</strong>s. The audit will use<br />
software to assess the building state, collect data and generate an energy efficiency improvement<br />
report.<br />
<strong>Inc</strong>entives cover full cost of measure installation and total incentive amount is limited to a<br />
maximum amount of $2,500 per house project. Direct installation of instant savings measures<br />
will occur during the audit. Quality control and combustion safety testing, as appropriate, are<br />
conducted to help ensure occupant safety. The measures include those related to building<br />
thermal envelope, HVAC, water heating and the instant savings measures.<br />
