Weatherization & Intergovernmental Programs Office WIP is part of EERE s balanced research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) approach to accelerate America s transition to a clean energy economy. Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP): State/local agencies carry out residential energy retrofits in low income residences that reduce energy consumption while concurrently reducing energy costs for these families. State Energy Program (SEP): State-led energy projects serve as an important foundation for reducing energy use and costs, developing environmentally conscious state economies, and increasing renewable energy generation. Policy & Technical Assistance Team (P&TA): Assists in developing tools and solutions to barriers facing state and local government expansion of energy efficiency policies and programs and replicating successful efforts demonstrated by public sector leaders.
