Actual energy savings after retrofit: Electrically heated homes in the Pacific Northwest

Author

  • Hirst, Eric

Abstract

The Bonneville Power Administration operated an interim Residential Weatherization Program during 1982 and 1983 throughout the Pacific Northwest. The program offered free home energy audits and financial incentives to help pay for installation of recommended retrofit measures in electrically heated homes. Almost 104,000 homes were retrofit during the two years the program operated at a cost to BPA of almost $160 million.
