Low income energy efficiency will only work with a community based approach

Retrofits have a hard economic payback and are therefore a good area to get into

Utilities must be mandated to get involved by legislation or regulators

There is a big difference between government funding (not ideal) and doing work for gov’t (ideal)

Multiple benefits/social/economic/enviro. Other contractors don’t offer training/life skills
