The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in remote home energy assessments. Expanded rapidly to substitute for in-person assessments until energy assessors could go back into homes, remote assessments have proved useful in multiple ways. Not only do they help encourage upgrades, but they are also important for mitigating climate change, as they allow assessors to reach more customers quickly and inexpensively.
In this webinar, ACEEE’s behavioral science team will partner with remote assessment provider CLEAResult to discuss how these assessments are effective and how behavioral science insights can make them work even better. Join us to gain insights from our speakers and a new ACEEE report based on a survey of recipients of in-person and remote assessments, as well as interviews and program reviews. We will discuss how satisfied people are with remote assessments, who they work best for, how they encourage follow-up actions, and more.
