Weatherization and SEP Support Program

1989 National Program Evaluation

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Weatherization Assistance Program (the Program) was created in 1976 to deliver energy conservation services to low-income Americans. DOE sponsored a comprehensive evaluation of the Program in the early 1990's that was performed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and was based primarily on data collected from the 1989 Program Year. A total of 12 reports document the overall evaluation and the various studies that comprised the evaluation. Links to these reports are provided below along with other materials that summarize the reports, the data collected under the evaluation, or the data collection surveys used by the various studies.
