1. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina 2007 National Weatherization Training Conference Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina

2.  Measures consisted of largely window and door replacement and carpentry repairs.  Very limited combustion analysis  Air sealing focused mostly around windows, doors and interior walls Prior to Receiving Training

3. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  Between July and November 2003, all 33 weatherization providers received training  New River Center for Energy Research and Training and J & J Weatherization was enlisted to provide classroom and hands-on training. Training Received

4. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  Training emphasized whole-house weatherization, not just cooling-only measures  Even in hot climates, savings in heating energy drives cost-effectiveness of most measures  Measures that would reduce heating load also reduces cooling load  Mostly not cost-effective to replace windows and doors Points Learned

5. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  Provide Hot Climate – Whole House Weatherization training to all weatherization staff and crew (both agency employees and subcontractors)  Provide Mobile Home Weatherization training  Provide training for Energy Auditors  Require accountability by monitoring Action Plan

6. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  Adopted Priority Lists of Weatherization Measures for: Single Family Homes Mobile Homes  Issued Weatherization Installation Standards Action Taken

7. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  Perform tune-ups and repairs to heating and cooling systems  Address health and safety issues  Seal air leaks in building envelope and ducts  Install attic, wall and floor insulation  Compact Fluorescent Lamps  Refrigerator replacement  General Heat Waste Typical Measures

8. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  August 2004 – April 2005 NRCERT and J & J provided Mobile Home Weatherization in Lynchburg, Va.  August and September 2005 - NRCERT and J & J Weatherization provided whole-house weatherization training to all subcontractors  August through June 2007 – Indiana Weatherization Training Center has provided 7 sessions of whole- house weatherization Training Since

9. Hot Climate Initiative in North Carolina  October 2007 – 48 energy auditors received auditor and combustion training at the Indiana Training Center  Twice each year at the North Carolina Community Action Association Conferences workshops are conducted on various topics Training Since
