To partner with two affordable housing organizations in Vermont to demonstrate how deep energy efficiency retrofits in single- and multi-family residences can make housing permanently and comprehensively affordable (by reducing occupants’ energy bills and insulating them from increases in energy costs). In addition to elevating energy usage as a prominent component of housing affordability, the project will also demonstrate how to harness various sources of government funding to finance energy efficiency retrofits.
