On August 5, 2025, the Energy Evaluation Asia Pacific (EEAP) hosted its 20th webinar, focusing on the topic of ‘Measuring What Matters: Non-Energy Benefits of Weatherization and Efficiency Programs’.
The session featured two distinguished speakers from Three3, Inc.:
- Bruce Tonn (he/him), Co-founder and President, Three3, Inc.
- Michaela Marincic (they/them), Senior Research & Data Analyst, Three3, Inc.
Edward Vine opened the session by introducing the mission of Energy Evaluation Asia Pacific (EEAP) to promote objective evaluation of energy efficiency and renewable energy programs across the region. He emphasized the growing importance of assessing non-energy benefits (NEBs) such as health, comfort, and financial well-being – critical dimensions in understanding the full impact of energy interventions.
Dr. Bruce Tonn presented findings from multiple U.S.-based studies on the non-energy impacts of low-income weatherization programs. He demonstrated how physical improvements to homes lead to measurable gains in health, household finances, and life satisfaction, and advocated for integrating weatherization with public health and climate resilience strategies.
Michaela Marincic followed with a detailed explanation of how to monetize these non-energy impacts, showing how assigning dollar values to health and well-being outcomes strengthens the case for investment in energy efficiency. They illustrated innovative modeling approaches and emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration in advancing evaluation practices.
The webinar offered a compelling exploration of how weatherization and energy efficiency programs can deliver wide-ranging societal benefits. It provided valuable insights for policymakers, evaluators, and practitioners seeking to design more equitable, cost-effective, and impactful energy programs.
