About Weatherization Workshops
Since 1979, CEP has conducted hundreds of do-it-yourself Home Weatherization Workshops. CEP conducts over 50 free weatherization workshops to income-qualified Portland homeowners and renters each weatherization season (end of September to March).
What 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.
