Well-Designed Home Energy Upgrades: Best Practices and Strategies

Date: August 20, 2024 1 PM EST 

Description: Using R2E2’s Playbook – which was created to help local energy upgrade program administrators, government officials, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders design best-practice, high-impact, energy upgrade programs serving low- and moderate-income housing – this workshop will explore specific best practices for program design.  

New and experienced single and multi-family efficiency programs should find this workshop useful for learning best practices and examples from the field. We will have some program managers from featured case studies facilitating breakout groups so participants can ask practical questions about real programs and get answers from the experts themselves. 

Target Audience: Community-based organizations (CBOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Non-profit Organizations, small businesses, local governments, state governments, Tribes

Workshop Agenda: 1:00-3:00 – Introduction, audience polls, presentation, Q&A, and a short break 3:00-4:00 – Interactive small group time, audience polls, wrap up, and next steps  

1-3 p.m. ET/Presentation and Q&A: During the first part of the workshop, we will introduce efficiency program guidelines and strategies, share best practices and program examples, and highlight existing resources on low-to-moderate-income energy upgrade programs. We will break at 3 and participants that do not wish to participate in the interactive session that follows may drop off. 

 3-4 p.m. ET/Interactive Small Group Time: The second section of the workshop will be an interactive session where you will be placed into smaller groups to dig deeper into specific case studies and their implementation of best practices. You will participate in discussion, ask questions, share your experiences and network with other workshop attendees. We encourage you to come to this with camera on and make connections!
