Review of LEAN Multi-Family Program

Low-Income Energy Affordability Network of Massachusetts

Synapse was hired to assist the Low Income Energy Affordability Network (LEAN) on technical issues in its low-income multi-family program. In particular, we reviewed the existing data format for communicating cost and savings information to program administrators, and the program’s cost-effectiveness methodologies and outputs. We then made recommendations to improve the cost-effectiveness methods as well as transparency, documentation of the overall process, and credibility of the outputs.
