Who offers Energy Wise?
Typically, utilities, state and community action agencies choose Energy Wise to help enhance the benefits they provide to their clients.
How does Energy Wise work?
We help recruit agencies and identify possible sources of funding. Then, our Train the Trainers workshops show agency staff
how to implement Energy Wise. The staff host training sessions that give their clients our customized energy kits and teach
them how to conserve energy. We provide ongoing support and coaching, as needed, to help your program run smoothly. Finally,
our tracking and reporting tools give you tailored savings estimates.
How effective is it?
Based on feedback from participating households in Iowa and South Carolina, utility bill savings are projected to range from $100 to $300.
Why is Energy Wise important?
To a utility, Energy Wise can mean lower arrearages, less money spent on collections and fewer shutoffs. To state and community action agencies,
it is an effective complement to weatherization programs and LIHEAP assistance dollars.
How soon can client services begin?
