Analysis of utility bills and consumption bulb savings comparison Use of kilowatt meters to assess appliance draw Eliminating phantom power consumption & using power strips Installation of weather stripping and reduction of air infiltration Programming and programmable thermostats Testing water temperature Checking air filters and refrigeration Installing faucet aerators and low flow showerheads A hands-on site visit to a home In addition to the training content, Home Energy Leaders will also receive an ipad to work on and materials necessary to engage residents in their communities including: Home Energy Savings guides; energy cost charts with community-specific rates; kilowatt meters; LED bulbs; thermometers; faucet aerators; power strips; and weather stripping. Implementation: Home Energy Leaders are responsible for engaging residents to participate in the program by posting information around town and on community online forums and door-to-door in the community. Support materials and suggestions will be supplied during the training session. A resident can participate in the program by signing a fuel release form that will provide one year of historic fuel use data. Residents will also agree to give the program access to one year of fuel use data after they have instituted any energy efficiency measures. Renters that do not pay their own heat and electric bills are exempt from supplying a fuel release form. REAP will submit the historical energy use data collected with the final report and may chose to submit the post-retrofit data after the grant period has ended. After qualifying the resident, the Home Energy Leader will perform a "site assessment", which includes analysis of heat and electric consumption, light bulb inventory and LED swap out, plug load assessment, installation of weather stripping, refrigeration coil and air filter check, installation of aerators and low flow shower heads. Site assessment features will be completed as needed. Once the site assessment is complete, the resident must also complete a short questionnaire about the program and sign a statement describing the measures that were taken. This questionnaire and signed statement will be submitted to the local sponsor and to the program managers by the Home Energy Leader, and will be the basis for payments to the Home Energy Leaders. Cost to Participants: Each participating resident must pay $25 for the site assessment, which will go back into the Program to allow more homes to be assessed. Funds and supplies will be
