Northwest Energy Agencies Get DOE Funding for
Energy Efficiency Work for Factory-Built Housing

Northwest energy agencies and the American Lung Association of Washington state have been awarded U.S. Department of Energy funding for energy efficiency work related to factory-built housing.

Washington State University Cooperative Extension Energy Program will receive $115,000 "for research, development and testing services to increase the energy efficiency of industrialized housing in the Northwest," according to a DOE news release. The Oregon Office of Energy was awarded $10,000 and the Idaho Department of Water Resources will get $5,000 for collaborating with WSU "to increase the energy efficiency of housing in their respective states."

The ALA of Washington was awarded $7,000 "for providing workshops on home energy efficiency and indoor air quality to home builders and the medical community."

DOE's funding of $800,000 for the Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership will be complemented by an additional $321,000 in cost-shared funding from the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance and members of the partnership project team, whose principal contractor is the Florida Solar Energy Center.
