OLHSA assisted the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor in conducting 15 energy workshops that were attended by 127 Oakland County residents. A total of 65 homes, occupied by 172 persons, received expanded weatherization. Evaluation from 1986-87 workshop participants indicate they have gained a good deal of knowledge regarding energy conservation and they intend to put the knowledge to good use. The hands-on workshops were especially well received as many participants had never used the materials before. Many reported an immediate reduction in heat expenses after minor weatherization had been completed. OLHSA feels the energy workshops and the expanded weatherization are a viable • part of cur Weatherization Program. With your support we will continue to provide this service to the residents of Oakland County. can be reached at 338-1215 or 858-5183 if you have any questions.

Estelle Wade 1986-87 CDBG ENERGY PROGRAM SUMMARY REPORT The Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) received $42,328 from Oakland County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to carry out energy savings projects in 1985-87. Of this amount, $21,164 was allocated for expanded weatherization and $21,164 was allocated to Energy Conservation Workshops. Fifteen (15) energy conservation workshops attended by one hundred twenty-seven (127) persons were conducted during 1986-87. Two types of workshops were delivered. Three (3) "Group Instructional" workshops provided an introduction to home conservation measures and programs and twelve (12) "Invitational" workshops provided hands-on woatherization materials installation in an actual home setting. Forty-five (45) persons attended the three "Group Instructional" workshops held in a classroom setting. Using audio-visual aids and packets containing written materials, workshop presentations covered low cost/no cost conservation practices (i.e., appliance use, household habits, no cost maintenance, weatherstripping, etc.). In addition, presentations promoted increased awareness of energy programs such as utility audits and shutoff protection programs, OLHSA Weatherization and Targeted Fuel Assistance (TEA) Programs, and CDBG Home Improvement Loans for new furnaces, roof repair, etc. Persons attending were also asked to participate in or host in-home hands-on "Invitational" workshops. The twelve (12) "Invitational" workshops were attended by eighty-two (82) people. Each three hour workshop provided anywhere from 2 to 12 persons with information on how to locate energy problems in their homes. They were given instructions on the use of low cost weatherization measures and were given a packet of materials including such items as: one hot water heater insulation blanket, one caulk gun, three tubs of caulk, weatherstripping, two door sweeps, and various other items. As of April, 1987, Project Warmth/Oakland used 0088 funds to install energy conservation materials and make energy conserving repairs on sixty-five (65) homes occupied by one hundred seventy-two (172) persons. Conservation materials installed on these homes Included, but was not limited to: 1. Storm doors 2. Caulking and weatherstripping 3. Storm windows 4. Set back thermostats S. Switch plate seals in addition to the items listed, Project Warmth supplemented weatherization L=,,7:rvi.ces with repairs as needed to protect, preserve or provide additional efficiency to the weatherization services such as: 1. Mobile home repairs (doors, skirting, etc.) 2. Trim work 3. Ceilings, wails and floors in need of repair 4, Foundation repair Both the conservation materials installed and conservation repairs benefitted clients by further increasing the energy savings brought about by Project Warmth's regular weatherization program measures which was also placed •on the households. As previously reported, OLHSA's CDBG energy education and conservation materials/ repair services more than pay for themselves on both a short and long term basis. Energy education services such as those delivered are an effective approach to achieving savings for a sizable number of households at a low cost to the County. Studies completed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and Ann Arbor's Community Development Division in the past have shown that workshop programs similar to OLHSA's have reduced household energy consumption by up to 10 to 15 pi—oent. Additional savings will be possible for households that follow-up re i -als to energy conservation services offered by OLHSA such as weatherization and/or County CDBG loans and the utility companies programs. During 1985-86, OLHSA provided twenty-three (23) workshops to two hundred ten (210) low income persons at a cost of $119 per person per workshop. It was found that the annual heat cost of the low income households participating in OLHSA's TFA Program was approximately $1,100 during the 1985-86 heating season. If the workshop participants had similar heating costs that were reduced by ten percent or WO annually, the workshops will result in substantial energy savings over the long term basis. In addition,. conservation repairs and materials tnstallation expand the energy efficiency of our weatherization program measures, i.e., attic insulation, storm windows, etc. The DOE estimates that energy improvements such as set back thermostats and/or furnace tune-ups will add up to 10 percent in energy savings to the weatherized homes. Minor repairs on roofs and walls will also make the installation of weatherization measures such as insulation more effective and energy efficient. Attached is a listing of homes weatherized and energy conservation workshops by participating community for the 1986-87 prOgram'year. The continued marriage of energy education and expanded weatherization and the COBS Lean Program will result in long range energy savings for the participating Oakland County residents.

Revis, Executive Director EXPANDED WEATHERIATION AND ENERGY EDUCATION INTRODUCTION For the past twenty years, the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) has carried out a wide array of programs to increase the self- sufficiency of low income households in Oakland and Livingston Counties. Among the programs provided are senior nutrition, health care, job training, energy and housing services, and pre-school education. For the past twelve years, OLHSA has carried out energy and housing services such as heating assistance payments and weatherization. These services have made OLHSA aware of the fact that as energy prices rise, and state and federal resources dwindle, additional local resources are needed to assure long term energy self- sufficiency. OLHSA is requesting $40,000 to continue community-based CDBG energy conservation services that complement OLHSA's weatherization services funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). PROBLEM According to 1980 U. S. Census Data, 86 percent or 305,121 of the 355,167 housing units in Oakland County use natural gas for home heating. The cost of gas heating has risen from $2.35/5CF to $5.50/MCF between 1978 and 1983, and despite recent price reductions, is still anticipated to increase to $10.00/MCF by 1990 according to state and utility forecasts. Since the average household receiving heating assistance payments from OLHSA in 1982-83 (an unusually mild winter) consumed 227/MOB' Per year, annual heating costs for these households could be over $2,000 per year by 1990. This would severly reduce the future income of the 73,613 Oakland County residents classified as poor by the 1980 Census. Frequently living in poorly insulted, older, or substandard housing, these individuals find it increasingly difficult to heat their homes or apartments during winter months. According to 1980 Census Data, Oakland County has 45,612 housing units that were built prior to 1939 and over 16,000 units have inadequate heating systems. The factors described indicate that poverty and energy-inefficient housing characteristics are problems affecting the majorty of the 48 communities served by Oakland County's CDBG Program. BACKGROUND Based upon past and current energy -related program activities, OLHSA can assure the effective and efficient delivery of CDBG funded energy conservation services. Since -A75, OLHSA has weatherized over 5,000 homes. The Agency's ability to perform on the basis of production levels and quality of services has steadily improved. In 1975, 273 homes were weatherized, wheras in 1983, 893 were weatherized, OLHSA achieved and exceeded 1983 Planned production by 104 housing units or 113 percent. In 1984, OLHSA weatherized 779 homes for a production rate of 105 percent. In 1985, OLOSA weatherized 524 homes or 100 percent of its planned production. In 1986, OLESA weatherized another 52.1 hornet or 100 percent of its planned production (production quotas have decreased because of Federal level funding outs). Oakland County CDBG funds have allowed OLBSA to carry out additional energy conservation education and conservation repair/materials installation programs designed to further increase the fuel savings brought about by OLBSA weatherization services. From 1983 to 1984, CDBG funds were used to conduct fifty-one energy education workshops attended by 531 persons. In 1985 twenty-three workshops were given to 210 persons and in 1986-87, a total of fifteen (15) workshops were given -to 127 persons. These workshops consisted of twelve (12) home ' "Invitational" workshops which provided hands-on weatherization materials installation instruction and three (3) "Group Instructional" workshops where general energy conservation techniques and applications were discussed. For the past three years, the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, a nonprofit organization with over 11 years of energy education experience has assisted OLBSA with delivering the energy education workshops. OLHSA will use this experience to conduct the-workshops along with selected low income persons who will receive energy conservation education and training on the delivery of these workshops. Also, for the past three years, OLBSA has also used CDBG funds to install energy conservation materials and make energy conserving repairs beyond the allowable expense under DOE regulations. Conservation repairs/materials installation linked to weatherization have been completed on over 274 homes (occupied by over 724 persons) with County ODBG funds. Repairs/materials included mobile home repairs, ceiling and wall repairs, set-back thermostat installation, storm doors, etc. OLHSA completed a total of 121 homes in 1985-86 serving 324 persons, and as of February, 1987, 54 homes and 146 persons have been served. PROPOSED PROGRAM OLHSA intends to deliver services similar to those carried out with nrevious County CDBG funds. The following is a brief overview of the services which will be carried out this program year: (1) OLEISA will conduct at least five (5) "Group Instructional" workshops (with 30 to 40 persons participating}. The workshops will benefit persons through a general introductory lesson in low cost conservation (i.e., caulking, appliance use, household habits, etc.) practices, as well as referrals to utility audit and shut-off protection programs, OLHSA Weatheritation and Beating Assistance Payment Programs and how to apply for CDBG home conservation/rehab loans offered through Oakland County's Community Development Block. Grant (CDBG) program. Press releases, outreach by OLBSA Field Services staff, and targeted leaf letting will be used to secure sufficient workshop participation. Persons attending the "Group Instructional" workshop will be asked to fill out a card indicating their interest in :ttending and/or hosting a follow-up "Invitional" workshop. (2) OLHSA will assure the delivery of at least ten (10) "Invitional - workshops that show persons the locations of energy problems in an actual home setting, and simple ways of reducing these problems. Workshops will be conducted in homes owned and rented by qualified low income individuals. Each three hour workshop will provide eight to ten persons with hands-on instruction in low cost weatherization materials installation, seasonal conservation measures, no cost maintenance practices, and behavioral habits which conserve energy. Workshop participants would receive a materials kit containing...one hot water heater tank blanket, caulk gun, three tubes of caulk, three packets of weatherstripping, two door sweeps, shower-flow restrictor, and a variety of other energy savings items. (3) OLHSA will identify a minumum of 30 homes for energy conserving home repairs. Repairs will include, but not be limited to, mobile home repairs (doors, skirting, etc.), and repair of roofs, windows, window frames, exterior doCrs, furnaces, etc. Households in need of more extensive home repairs will be referred to the CDBG loan program in their community. (4) OLHSA will complement conservation repair work with the installation of conservation items that increase energy efficiency on a minimum of homes. The items will include, but not be limited to, set-back thermostats, storm doors, storm windows, window covers/curtains,:hot water heater jackets, heat reclaimation devices, etc. (5) OLESA will prepare a report that summarizes the progress, results, and impact of the services which OLHSA provided. The report will be distributed to officials, planners, etc., from communities participating in the 1287-88 Oakland County CDBG Program. BUDGET The following in a general cost breakdown of the energy education and conservation repair/materials installation services proposed. Conservation Repair and Materials Energy Education Installation Total Administration $ 7,000 -0- $ 7,000 Labor 6,500 $ 10,750 17,250 Materials 6,250 2,000 15,250 Travel 250 250 500 $ 20,000 $ 20,000 $ 40,000 CONCLUSION This proposal clearly indicates that OLHSA can continue to effectively deliver CDBG energy services designed to compilment our present Weatherization Program. OLHSA foresees continued results and benefits from the CDBG energy program proposed. The energy education program -such as the one proposed has proven in the past to be an effective approach to acheiving energy savings for a sizable number of households at a low cost to the County. Studies completed by Department of Energy (DOE) and Ann Arbor's Community Development Division have shown that low cost/no cost conservation measures can reduce energy usage by up to 15 percent. Additional savings will be possible for those households that follow-up referrals to conservation services offered by OLHSA's Weatherization Program, County CDBG loan, and the utilities. A two year evaulation of the Weatherization program in Michigan conducted by the Michigan Department of Commerce Energy Administration (released in May, 1986) revealed that weatherization services provided energy saving levels of 12 to 29 percent annually. It has been OLHSA'z experience that workshops are well received and a learning experience for the low income households. Feedback from past workshop Participants, for example, indicate that workshop techniques have been put to use by those attending. The one-on-one instruction offered at the -Invitational" workshops has been the most successful aspect of the energy education component. The conservation repairs/materials installation provided by CDBG funds has increased the energy efficiency of homes served. The DOE estimates that additional energy improvements such as set-back thermostats and/or furnace tune-up will add up to an additional 10 percent energy savings to the homes receiving DOE weatherisation materials. These benefits clearly indicate that the CDBG Energy Program continued by OLBSA more than pays for itself on both a short and long term basis. Energy savings achieved through energy education and home repairs will continue for years to come. In addition, these energy savings will continue to pump money back into the local economy of Oakland County communities that will be spent on goods and services that contribute to long-term economic growth. 0 / Effective Date: June 1, 1987 Program Date: 6-1-87 to 5-31-88 Energy Education Type of Program: and Weatheri zati on Betty Morrison Monitoring Position: Energy Soec, al 1St SECTION I.
