Happy Earth Day!

At CHP Energy Solutions, we strive every day to make homes more energy efficient and more comfortable through our no-cost programs. In doing this, we are having a positive impact on our planet and our communities. In 2025, we saved 2,000,000 kilowatt hours across 4,600 homes. That’s equivalent to taking 313 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles off the road!

Today, let’s take time to reflect on the small ways we can act in our homes, for our planet through energy efficiency. One home at a time, we can make a difference.

🌍 Making Housing Poverty Visible Through Building Science

We’re proud to celebrate an incredible honor for our partners at Weatherizers Without Borders (WWB), who are hosting an interactive exhibit at the MIT Museum, in collaboration with MIT D‑Lab.

Led by Nick Maggio (WWB) and Anthony Cox (CHP Energy Solutions), the exhibit shines a powerful light on what housing and energy poverty truly mean and how building science can help us measure, understand, and reduce it.

📍 MIT Museum
314 Main Street, Cambridge, MA
📅 April 15, 2026
⏰ 3:00–6:00 PM

Visitors will experience firsthand how substandard housing contributes to increased carbon emissions and diminished health, safety, and quality of life. Using a full suite of building science diagnostic tools, the exhibit makes the invisible visible, demonstrating how whole‑home performance connects housing poverty, energy burden, and climate impacts for nearly one‑third of the world’s population.

👏 Congratulations to WWB, MIT D‑Lab, and everyone involved in bringing this critical work to life.

🌎 Weatherization Works—Everywhere! 🏡

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a nationwide program that empowers communities across the country. Through formula grants, WAP supports:

✅ All 50 states
✅ The District of Columbia
✅ Native American tribes
✅ U.S. territories

These partners work with over 700 local weatherization providers to deliver energy-saving upgrades to homes—making them safer, healthier, and more affordable.

From coast to coast, WAP is helping families reduce energy costs and improve quality of life!

💡 Weatherization Pays Off—Big Time! 💸

For every $1.00 invested in weatherization, households and communities receive:
🔹 $1.72 in energy benefits
🔹 $2.78 in non-energy benefits (like improved health, safety, and comfort)

That’s a total return of $4.50 for every dollar spent—proof that weatherization is one of the smartest investments we can make in our homes and communities.

Weatherization improves lives, strengthens neighborhoods, and helps families thrive—all while saving energy and reducing costs.

💡 Weatherization = Lower Energy Cost ⚡

Lower-income families often spend up to 14% of their income on energy costs, compared to just 3% for higher-income households. That’s a huge disparity—and it’s exactly why weatherization matters.

By improving energy efficiency, the Weatherization Assistance Program helps reduce this energy burden, making homes more affordable, healthier, and more comfortable for those who need it most.

Weatherization isn’t just about saving energy—it’s about creating healthier homes, stronger communities, and lasting economic relief.

🔍 Exploring Building Science with Arrows Homeschool Co-Op!🔬

Last week, our Training Center in Christiansburg, VA welcomed 16 curious and enthusiastic students from the Arrows Homeschool Co-Op for a hands-on tour of our facilities!

From our Heat, Air, and Moisture House demonstration to real-world examples of energy efficiency work, these students got a unique look at how science and math come alive in the field of building science.

Our team showcased how the principles of building science are applied to improve homes and communities—and introduced exciting career paths in energy efficiency and weatherization.

We’re proud to inspire the next generation of thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers. Thank you, Arrows Co-Op, for spending the day with us!

🤝 Celebrating Partnership with Appalachian Power 🙌

Last week, we had the honor and privilege of hosting our incredible partners from Appalachian Power (APCo) at the CHP Energy Solutions Training Center in Christiansburg, VA. APCo’s commitment to energy efficiency and community impact is proven through their TakeCharge Weatherization Program, which we proudly administer alongside 20 other weatherization and energy efficiency initiatives across Virginia.

This program provides vital weatherization services to income-qualified households—helping reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and create safer, healthier homes. APCo’s funding supplements state and federal programs, allowing us to reach even more families in need.

We’re deeply grateful for APCo’s collaboration and the meaningful difference their programs make in the lives of our clients. Together, we’re building a more energy-efficient future. 💡🏡
