As a part of the Energy and Transportation
Science Division (ETSD),
Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Energy Efficiency Group (RCIEE),
our activities include evaluations of the U.S. Department of Energy's
(DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program and State Energy Program (SEP),
technical support for the Weatherization Assistant energy audit tool
(NEAT and MHEA), and research into the impacts of utility restructuring
and resource leveraging.
Our mission, in support of DOE's Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental
Program (OWIP) is "to work with federal, state and local
partners to promote the adoption of energy efficiency and renewable
energy technologies and practices -- thereby helping the nation realize
a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and safer, more affordable
energy services for all its citizens."
