Why are we here?To create a program that will use stimulus $$ to…

Create 500 jobs in Miami CountyCut Energy Bill for residents

Help keep more people in their homesReduce Carbon EmissionsHOW?

By Weatherizing 100 homes per week, 50,000 over five years

Then: Pay back government stimulus money- a hand up, not a

hand out.

For Workers in Miami CountyCreate good jobs weatherizing homesCreate more jobs when we source material

for weatherizing homesCreate more jobs with multiplier effect

Each job created, generates 2-4 more jobs from the money spent by the first employee!

Create even more jobs by keeping fossil fuel savings here at home

For Homeowners and TenantsWeatherizing Cuts your energy billWeatherizing Reduces your monthly housing

costsWeatherizing Puts $25 more in your pocket

every monthWeatherizing Eliminates your Up-Front

ExpensesSolves the renter / landlord divide by letting

the renter pay for weatherization from their savings.

How We Hope to Do This1. Start a Public/Private Partnership2. Build Infrastructure, people, systems, and

processes to do high volume, low cost weatherization program

3. Build momentum with you here tonight

For Each HomeAudit homes

Check energy usage and weatherization in placeDetermine best ways to cut energy costsStart with low cost, high payback items, then ‘move up’

$ = Caulk, weather stripping, clock thermostat $$ = attic, crawl space insulation $$$= wall insulation, appliance changes

Weatherize!Do the work fast! – with efficient teams

PaybackSet monthly payback for ½ of monthly savingsWe hope to get payback on utility bill for simplicityPayback weatherization in 24-36 months

FROM RESIDENT’S VIEW…

Monthly IMMEDIATE energy savings $50.00 Monthly weatherization costs $25.00 Monthly NET savings $25.00 ANNUAL SAVINGS $300.00

We weatherize to get IMMEDIATE savings in first month, and every month

$500 in weatherization work, Paid at $25.00 per month…Will – for most homes- save $50 per month

Material value per home $200.00 Materials purchased per month

$80,000.00 Percentage of materials=local labor 20%Local Labor value / month $16,000.00
