The Energy Program administers 3 programs designed to lower energy costs for income qualifying Coloradoan’s:  the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), Colorado’s Affordable Residential Energy Program (CARE) and the Crisis Intervention Program (CIP).  Households which qualify for a program from an energy-improvement and income standpoint following a home energy audit will be scheduled for installation, the cost of which is entirely covered through the program.  The program specializes in retrofitting energy efficient systems into the most challenging existing structures.

Services include an energy-efficiency and safety audit followed by installation of  insulation, caulking, weather-stripping, installation of storm windows, and in certain cases new energy-efficient furnaces and refrigerators.  The Energy program also leverages these skills for special projects, for instance retrofit of multi-family and affordable housing projects upon request.
