Honestly, Weatherization Program Manager is not a position I had too much familiarity with, but thought, here is another one of those great jobs that will allow some lucky individual who loves the mountains to live their dream, career and lifestyle, in the highly desirable mountain community of Durango, Colorado.
Anyway, I decided to look further into the Weatherization Program on the U.S. Department of Energy website to find out what it is all about.
The Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. During the last 32 years, the U.S. Department of Energy ’s (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program has provided weatherization services to more than 6.2 million low-income families.
By reducing the energy bills of low-income families instead of offering aid, weatherization reduces dependency and liberates these funds for spending on more pressing family issues. On average, weatherization reduces heating bills by 32% and overall energy bills by about $350 per year at current prices. This spending, in turn, spurs low-income communities toward job growth and economic development.
