Program on track to bring locals energy savings Dec 15, 2009
Boston Globe – A company that is part of a City of Boston weatherization program is now projecting that homes participating in the program are on track to initially save an average of $200 to $300 per household in annual energy savings.
The company is Next Step Living Inc., a privately held Boston firm that specializes in energy efficiency audits and energy upgrades for home owners.

Boston Globe – On a chilly Tuesday morning last week, Steve Garwood was pointing an orange hand-held infrared camera at the walls of Ceci Mendez’s bedroom, showing her where the 50-year-old home was letting in cold air from the outside. In Mendez’s basement, Shawn Boilard was cutting sections of foam insulation to be fitted around the pipes connected to Mendez’s furnace.
By the time Garwood, Boilard, and a third team member from Next Step Living Inc. left the house around lunchtime, they’d found ways to reduce Mendez’s annual energy bills by about $260 per year – and significantly reduce the carbon “footprint’’ of her small Roslindale home.

Boston Globe - Boston-based energy audit firm Next Step Living will help weatherize at least 150 homes under the city’s “Renew Boston Residential Energy Efficiency” initiative, a pilot program that started this week.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is expected to announce details of the $200,000 program tomorrow, alongside Next Step Living head Geoff Chapin, at one of the homes that is being weatherized. The company analyzes a home’s energy consumption so that residents can then cut back and save money.

Boston Globe – In South Boston, Geoff Chapin is shifting strategy at his new home-energy-efficiency company to deal with the tough economy. His business, Next Step Living, was originally aimed at homeowners and businesses; now it’s also reaching out to cities and towns that may be spending federal stimulus money.

USA Today – A huge boost in federal funds to help low-income families weatherize their homes provides more than $3 on average in the coldest states for every $1 given to warm-weather states, an analysis of the aid program shows — even though exposure to extreme heat and cold are both health risks.
“People think weatherization is only for cold weather,” says James Miller, spokesman for the Florida Department of Community Affairs. “The heat is just as dangerous as the cold.” President Obama’s economic stimulus plan provides $5 billion for weatherization, more than 20 times the normal yearly budget

CNNMoney.com – Geoff Chapin, CEO of green remodeling company Next Step Living, is ready to do his part for our flailing economy. He believes that federal stimulus funds, which include $5 billion for weatherization projects, will trickle down to his Boston-based startup.
“We plan to hire up to 120 people in the next 18 months,” he told Fortune Small Business.
But small business advocates worry: Will entrepreneurs like Chapin really nab their share of lucrative government contracts? The White House estimates that nearly 75% of the funds will be committed by August 2010. To meet that tight deadline, agencies may hire bigger companies with a greater capacity to handle several different types of projects.

MSNBC – Critics of the $787 billion economic stimulus program are not really balking over caulking: They just don’t think pouring substantially more money into home weatherization will give a quick kick to the reeling economy.
There’s $5 billion for weatherizing modest-income homes over the next few years in the sweeping stimulus legislation that Congress sent to President Barack Obama.
Obama wants a sevenfold jump in the number of homes weatherized each year — from about 140,000 to 1 million households.

Business Week – For the thousands of contractors and state and local agencies that have received funds under the Energy Dept.’s Weatherization Assistance Program in the past, President Obama’s stimulus bill, which calls for a massive $6.2 billion to weatherize low-income homes, was a little like winning the lottery. The DOE last year allocated just $227.2 million for the Weatherization Program, which was founded in 1976 and has so far helped around 6.2 million families’ homes become more energy-efficient by upgrading insulation, heating and cooling systems, air filters, and windows. So the first reaction from the contractors and agencies, naturally, has been elation.
As Geoff Chapin, CEO of eco-retrofit company Next Step Living, says, “We were heartened to hear that weatherization plays such a critical role in the stimulus package.”
