Weatherization programs have been on the rise, since energy is now being considered premium and efforts to reduce its consumption and optimize efficiency are popular. Buildings and homes in the United States contribute to air quality problems since they are major consumers of energy. While insulation may prevent some reduction in usage it is not considered a weatherization effort.
These programs typically include sealing cracks, gaps and holes. Sealing air ducts and protecting pipes from corrosion and freeze. Installing storm doors and windows and replacing drafty openings with fitting fixtures. The United States weatherization programs aims at reducing housing energy bills and assist low income families struggling with costs of their energy bills.
