Everyone is welcome to attend this informative workshop. Income qualified households will receive a free weatherization kit. For households that exceed the income guidelines, the materials are available for purchase through our retail fundraiser to help weatherize more homes
Weatherization Workshop Program BrochureWhat the workshops include
Participants are find out how to implement simple measures to lower home energy use and learn how to install effective weatherization materials in their homes using only basic tools such as scissors and screwdriver. Each participating income-qualified Portland household receives a free kit of materials worth over $150. Each kit includes reusable vinyl storm windows, door weatherstripping, pipe insulation, a compact fluorescent light and more.
Additional information
We provide optional follow-up visits for workshop participants to answer questions on installation of workshop materials on-site. We also ask for feedback from participants which help us to continually improve our program.
Host a CEP Weatherization Workshop in Your Community
If you are outside of our service area, or even in another state,
CEP is prepared to share our successful energy education model with
the world!
CEP has been successfully providing client education for 30 years.
Each year, CEP conducts up to 80 free weatherization workshops to
over 800 Portland homeowners and renters. Workshops are lead by both
CEP Staff and Volunteer Workshop Leaders. Participants receive
information on simple, practical ways to lower home energy use and
learn how to install low-cost, effective weatherization materials in
their homes. We are able to bring this service to your area, or your
organization can participate in our energy educator training
program, “Small Measure Weatherization: Facilitating Community
Empowerment, Education, and Involvement.” We can bring our
“traveling show” to your location. Our staff will communicate with
you to make sure all the details are covered. We can provide flyer
templates and suggestions to help you get the word out to your
group, or tailor a program to fit your needs. All proceeds from
program fees go back to Community Energy Project services.
