Energy Makeover Contest
  • Win up to 25,000 in FREE energy efficiency
    upgrades to from utility with co-sponsors
  • Learn how to buy/make home energy savings
    improvements

Home energy improvements dont cost, they pay

Why Energy Makeover Contest?
  • Be proactive to get ahead of rate increases
  • Show homeowners how best to reduce their energy
    bills
  • Benchmark homes with high energy bills
  • Benchmark cost-effective savings potential
  • Showcase utilitys energy efficiency program
    portfolio
  • Maintain utilitys leadership position as trusted
    energy savings information broker
  • Rally home improvement providers with common
    energy savings message

5
DMEA Program Goals
  • Demonstrate the home improvement measures that a
    homeowner could do that could pay for themselves
    through energy bill savings.
  • Demonstrate how to conduct a whole house energy
    analysis and communicate the results to
    homeowner, contractor and financier.
  • Model a collaborative process for home
    improvement providers to work together for the
    benefit of DMEA members.

6
Home Energy Makeover Contest Process Prizes
  • Partner with Colo. Energy Science Center to
    identify 10 home with highest BTU per sq. ft.
  • One Grand Prize up to 25,000
  • Two Runners Up Prize up to 10,000
  • Seven Consolation Prizes of home energy analysis
    with improvement package proposal

7
One Grand Prize
  • Up to 25,000 (retail value) energy-related
    home improvement measures that would have the
    greatest positive cash-flow in energy savings if
    financed through home improvement mortgage/loan.
    Home should
  • have very high annual energy use (i.e. BTU/sq
    ft),
  • be typical (i.e. 1000 to 3000 sq ft with no
    unusual types of major energy usage), and
  • be in need of typical, major energy-related home
    improvements (i.e. insulation, HVAC, appliances,
    windows, etc.)

8
And the Winner is.
  • GeoExchange heat pump
  • Marathon water heater
  • Windows and doors
  • Attic/crawl cellulose insulation
  • Air leak sealing
  • Compact fluorescent lamps

9
Runner-Up Prizes
  • Up to 10,000 (retail value) in
    energy-related home improvement measures that
    would have the greatest positive cash-flow in
    energy savings if financed through home
    improvement loan/mortgage. Home should
  • have very high annual energy use (i.e. BTU/sq
    ft),
  • be typical (i.e. 1000 to 3000 sq ft with no
    unusual types of major energy usage), and
  • not necessarily be in need of typical, major
    energy-related home improvements (i.e. HVAC,
    windows, etc.), but could likely need insulation
    and air leakage sealing.
  • Geographical location may be considered to
    cover utility service territory

10
Consolation Prizes
  • Up to 300 (retail value) in home energy
    analyses and report preparation to determine the
    most cost-effective energy-related home
    improvements and communicate this information to
    homeowner, contractor and financier terms. This
    will include
  • Blower door test with heat loss/gain and air
    flow analyses
  • Actionable proposal with fixed price from a
    general contractor and subcontractors
  • Financial analyses of installed cost vs.
    estimated energy cost savings to project a
    positive cash flow
