Weatherization Day 2007 Activities

Massachusetts continued to showcase the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) through Energy Bucks ( http://www.energybucks.com), an integrated campaign to publicize the DOE WAP, the Gas & Electric Utility Funded Programs and LIHEAP.  Energy Bucks creates one point of contact to ensure that eligible low income customers receive all appropriate services. 

In addition to this public information strategy, the state also held two weatherization events during the month of October. One was held October 15 in Boston and was jointly sponsored by Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) and NStar Electric & Gas. The second was held on October 30th's Weatherization Day in Haverhill. This event was jointly sponsored by ACTION, Inc., Community Action, Inc., KeySpan Gas Company and NGrid Electric.

In addition, the network sponsored an Energy Bucks Booth at the Massachusetts Council on Aging Fall Conference in Sturbridge.

Weatherization Day 2006 Activities

In lieu of typical Weatherization Day activities, Massachusetts is currently running a comprehensive media campaign called Energy Bucks, encouraging weatherization and other energy conservation measures across the state. For more information, visit the Energy Bucks website.
