The Beneficial Electrification League is exploring how deep home energy retrofits combining weatherization and electrification can benefit low and moderate-income consumers, reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of the grid.
The W/E Together initiative improves building efficiency by tackling the challenge of heating and cooling from two different directions: first, improve the building envelope to reduce energy loss, and second, install high-efficiency, right-sized electric appliances to reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling. These appliances can also lower peak demand, reducing stress on the grid. This inside and out approach will lower bills, improve air quality and, scaled up, can promote a robust, resilient and equitable energy system.
The Beneficial Electrification League is launching a Weatherization/Electrification Together (“W/E Together”) network and will be holding forum meetings beginning in fall 2020. Sign up for notices and updates below.
