Activity Goal: The County's goal is to encourage Island residents to implement energy efficiency measures in their homes by providing audits, personalized consultation,and a program of public education and marketing. This program of individualized consultation, targeted education, and consistent public awareness, will eventually.become a train-the-trainer program wherein residents spread the word and use their knowledge to help neighbors, families and friends. Activity objectives: 1) Conduct home energy audits and consultation for a minimum of 50 low- to moderate-income residents. The expected efficiency gains from audit recommendations range from 25 percent to 40 percent. Costs for each audit range from $700 to $900 per home depending on the size and features of each home. Testimonials from at least three audited residents will be used in the public education program. 2) Provide all residents of several developments containing similar home models with "snap shot" audits based on audits of one or two homes in each development. Residents will use the standardized audits on their own to determine their.energy efficiency options. Periodic follow-up with the selected developments will reveal program effectiveness. 3) Provide public education on residential energy efficiency measures and financing incentives and options in a variety of methods which may include but are not limited to: community meetings, home improvement store displays and demonstrations, public service announcements; local television programs; and printed materials. This public education and awareness program will reach at least 80,000 residents, which represents roughly half the Island's resident population. 4)The resident or residents of the audited home that has the largest gains in energy savings will be selected, with their consent, as the program's spokesperson(s)and may appear in print and televised publicity. Time line by project phase: Phase I: Within three months of receipt of funding the Department of Research and Development will establish a working group/committee that will provide program guidance. Existing partnerships will be tapped to maximize resources, impact and stakeholder collaboration. Phase II: Within six months of receipt of funding, the Department of Research and Development and the established working group will finalize the Residential Green Retrofit Program and the Energy Efficiency Training Program for the Residential Sector, develop the contractor scope of work for both programs, and select contractor(s) per the Hawaii State Procurement Code. Phase III: Within 90 days of completion of Phase II and continuing for the next 24 months, implement the program and conduct an evaluation program of continuous monitoring, verification and inspection. A total of $100,000 in EECBG funding will support this program with $50,000 for contractor services for the Residential Green Retrofit program (audits)and $50,000 for contractor services for the Training Program for the Residential Sector. The Department of R&D will leverage a portion of the annual salary and benefits package.of its program Specialist who will manage this program. Program metrics will include: number of homes audited, size of homes audited, family profiles of the 50 homes receiving energy audits, recommendations for energy efficient/renewable energy systems, installation of renewable energy/energy efficiency technology; number and types of financial incentives program utilized; kWh saved; average dollar saved; number of workshops/training sessions conducted; number of residents trained and number of residents reached through the marketing efforts.
