Kathleen Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, has written a blog to respond to the recent E2e Study.  In this posting, Dr. Hogan provides a thoughtful response to the draft working paper released by the E2e Project that outlines results of a study conducted on the Michigan Weatherization Program.  In the response, you will find a link to a fact sheet that provides a summary of key results from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s comprehensive evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program, scheduled to be released in the coming weeks.  These results provide a powerful counterpoint to the conclusions reached by E2e and demonstrate the continued success of the Weatherization program in lowering energy bills and improving the lives of low-income Americans. Both the blog post and fact sheet can be found in the links below.
