5. Program Background Main Objectives Develop energy performance-based rating and certification standards and program procedures Oversee the implementation of procedures Develop and maintain a database of fenestration attachment product performance Summary Up to $1.6 million, 1 award; 4 year funding period Cooperative Agreement with substantial involvement between EERE and WCMA; Minimum 35% cost share Financial self-sufficiency at the end of four year funding period

6. Despite the large energy savings opportunity, the market tells us that window replacements are too expensive. Fenestration attachments have a large estimated energy savings potential Currently no consistency in performance rating protocols and thus no way to identify efficient products There is currently no organization responsible for creating a viable rating program for attachments The proven strategy to grow market share of EE consumer products— ENERGY STAR or a similar program—requires an established independent rating and certification product for energy performance Why did DOE invest?

7. Slide 7 Developing cost-effective performance indices Program establishment and management Rating program development Attachment labeling guidelines and enforcement IT systems management Long-term financial self-sufficiency Final Deliverables Rating, Certification, and Labeling Program Certified Products Database for Fenestration Attachments Program Performance Targets
