  1. Oregon Housing and Community Services Oregon State LIHEAP Weatherization Program NASCSP Annual Conference and DOE WAP State Managers’ Meeting September 2012

  2. LIHEAP Weatherization Funding Categories • Fifteen percent set-aside for weatherization • Includes but not limited to installation of insulation, reduction of infiltration, windows and doors, heating system (retrofit, repair, replacement), and baseload measures • Weatherization-related home repairs, including those necessary for worker and occupant health and safety • Up to five percent for energy/consumer education • May be used to provide energy education and energy-based incentives to LIHEAP-eligible households or groups • Up to five percent for training and technical assistance • May be used at subgrantee level for training and workshops necessary to maintain or improve technical skills

  3. How is Oregon’s LIHEAP Program different from other efficiency programs? • Individual efficiency measures do not have to meet the SIR of one or greater threshold • $6,000 per unit expenditure average • Health and safety measures can be completed independent of major energy efficiency measures • No per unit health and safety expenditure limit • Windows and doors can be completed as an efficiency or health and safety measure

  4. Why is Oregon’s LIHEAP Program different than other efficiency programs? • Allows flexibility when blending LIHEAP funds with DOE or Public Purpose on individual projects • Allows health and safety issues to be addressed in absence of efficiency measures • Allows replacement or repair of heating equipment as a health and safety activity when not cost-effective • Increases overall health and safety budget and allows for activities outside the scope of DOE program • Helps reduce the number of deferrals

  5. Allowable Health and Safety/Incidental Repair Activities • Repair/replacement of nonfunctioning or unsafe gas ranges • Repair/replacement of water heating equipment • Plumbing and/or electrical repair • Heating equipment repair/replacement • Floor and/or drywall repair • Minor roof repairs • Window and door repair/replacement • Indoor air quality/mechanical ventilation • Combustion safety repairs • Lead safe weatherization
