National Weatherization Day
October 30, 2020
The Weatherization Assistance Program created the residential home performance industry. The program was created in 1976 under Title IV of the Energy Conservation and Production Act to assist low-income families when the 1973 oil crisis was affecting millions of Americans. In this early phase, volunteers and job trainees installed low-cost conservation measures, such as covering windows with plastic sheeting, caulking, and weatherstripping to reduce home heating bills. By the 1980s, weatherization services focused on more permanent and cost-effective measures, such as insulation and improving efficiency in heating systems. Today’s home performance industry, comprising for-profit companies, is based on many of the practices and technologies developed by the Weatherization Assistance Program.
