Maine is doing it, are you?

The house the auditor describes could be located in the sandy soils of northwest Indiana.  The part that caught my eye was this:

A little background: the low income weatherization program insulates and weatherizes homes of folks who qualify for heating assistance. MSHA evaluates the houses and tackles the “worst” ones using highest BTUs per square foot per heating degree day as criteria. Then they apply their limited budget to insulating and weatherizing the building.

It is always encouraging to see actual energy consumption as a part of the auditing and overall weatherization process.  Maine is doing it, are you?
