NREL & WAP to Host Workshop at Our National Conference This April

Each year through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) hosts Continuous Improvement Workshops to engage with WAP network stakeholders on tangible ways to improve program implementation. Applications are now open for the 2023 workshops.

The first workshop of the year will be held in person in coordination with the National Home Performance Conference (NHPC’23) and will include a session focused on improving contractor outreach and engagement. DOE is interested in hearing from contractors who both have experience with WAP, and who have not yet engaged but may be interested.
