Of recipients engaged, 64% are renters whereas 34% own their homes.

Energy Audit and Monthly Energy Usage

Approximate Average Monthly Energy Bill (Question 20a)
40% of all households have an average monthly energy bill between $100-$150; 22%: $150-$200; and 20% of households have average monthly energy bill of $1-$50. The remainder of recipients with $50-$100 (9%) and $200+ monthly energy bills totals at 18% divided between six subsets. That is to say, 40% of recipients have energy bills greater than $150.00, monthly.

Approximate # of Fixed Lighting Fixtures (Question 21a)
Fixed lighting fixtures, as defined by the project include, “lighting that is turned on with a switch and/or permanently affixed within the household.” 42% of recipients have approximately 6-10 fixed lighting fixtures; 27%: 1-5 fixed lighting fixtures; and 10% with 11-15 fixed lighting fixtures. The remaining 21% includes 16 fixed lighting fixtures or more divided among six additional subsets.

Approximate # of Non-Fixed Lighting Fixtures (Question 22a)
Non-fixed lighting fixtures, as defined by the project, include “lighting plugged into a socket and/or not permanently affixed in the household.” 68% of recipients have approximately 1-5 non-fixed lighting fixtures; 15%: 6-10 non-fixed lighting fixtures; and the remaining 3% with 11-15 non-fixed lighting fixtures.

CFL Tracking Data
