Weatherization <br />Assistance Program (NCWAP) to evaluate the program and recommend <br />best practices that will increase impacts for low-income residents. This <br />work involves: <br /> <br />- Collaborate with community action agencies to identify pain <br />points and educate them on their EE impacts <br />- Carry out energy use analysis with Enpira to determine dollars <br />saved, CO2 reductions, etc. <br />- Make recommendations to the new program administrative <br />software soon to be launched <br />- Work with utilities to collect energy use data to be used for <br />analysis <br />- Explore ways to integrate NCWAP services with other <br />community program offerings to better serve residents <br />- Make recommendations to improve accuracy/security of data <br />and to standardize program practices <br /> <br /> <br />Other relevant experience includes: <br />- Collaborating with Duke Energy to design energy efficiency <br />program accessible to low-income communities <br />- Work with electric cooperatives throughout the Southeast to <br />promote energy efficiency programs inclusive to low-income <br />communities; this work includes data analytics, implementing <br />marketing campaigns, creating educational materials and talking <br />with residents in the field to learn their perceptions of utility- <br />offered programs <br />- NCSEA and Enpira worked on the U.S. Department of Energy- <br />funded Powering Energy Efficiency and Impacts Framework <br />(PEEIF) project. The two partners played pivotal roles in the <br />project, which focused on developing a geospatial database to be <br />used by government entities and utilities to enhance the <br />efficiency of energy services delivered to low-income <br />households in a five-county region of northeastern North <br />Carolina. NCSEA contributed by facilitating partnerships to <br />bolster data-sharing practices used to increase the efficacy of the <br />database and Enpira carried out energy use data analysis.
