Abstract
The goal of our project was to provide focus to the Community Energy Savers (CES) program being administered through AEP Ohio and Columbia Gas by identifying barriers to resident participation in the program. The CES program incentivizes energy efficiency through in-home energy audits and various rebate programs. Each time a resident participates in one of these programs they earn points for the community that go towards a goal set for the entire neighborhood. The CES program is currently being implemented in Linden, a low-income neighborhood in the Northeast area of Columbus. This report and research poster summarize key findings from our project and provide recommendations to improve resident participation in the Linden CES program.
