The Weatherization Innovation Pilot Program (WIPP) works towards new models for energy auditing and retrofitting houses to be more energy efficient.
As a sub-grantee of WIPP, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity will help 60 families stay warm and healthy in southeastern Iowa over the next 1-2 years thanks to a grant from the Department of Energy.
Applicants may be eligible for a "whole-home" energy audit, a refrigerator replacement for units over 10 years old, a check of furnace and water heater, and a low-or-no-cost insulation upgrade.
To qualify, applicants must own their home and make less than the threshold listed below for the number of occupants:
| Size of Family | Income Limit |
| 1 | 22340 |
| 2 | 30260 |
| 3 | 38180 |
| 4 | 46100 |
| 5 | 54020 |
| 6 | 61940 |
| 7 | 69860 |
| 8 | 77780 |
| Each +1 | 7920 |

For each approved homeowner application, an initial audit by BPI-certified energy auditors will diagnose the home’s performance, and then volunteer weatherization technicians will install measures to improve health, safety, and energy efficiency. A final inspection will verify that the measures work and are correctly installed.
