Households with high energy burdens are more likely to experience poor health and poverty.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geographically, burdens are often highest in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cities, including Boston, Baltimore, New York, and Washington, DC (Ayala &amp; Dewey, 2024).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is no coincidence that these disparities exist; they are rooted in decades of discriminatory housing and environmental policies\u2014including redlining, exclusionary lending practices, segregation, and disinvestment, which systematically confined Black and low-income communities to under-resourced neighborhoods with limited access to opportunity. The federal Home Owners\u2019 Loan Corporation (HOLC) redlining system played a central role in this process by withholding capital and investment from these neighborhoods, shaping long-term patterns of uneven development and environmental risk (Lane et al., 2022).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of these policies are still visible today. Formerly redlined neighborhoods are significantly hotter than non-redlined areas (Hoffman et al., 2020), experience higher levels of air pollution (Lane et al., 2022), and face higher energy burdens alongside poorer health outcomes and increased financial strain (Ayala &amp; Dewey, 2024). Taken together, this underscores how housing inequities, environmental exposure, and poverty are not separate issues, but deeply interconnected outcomes of structural inequality.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cdc2c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2cdc2c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Problem with \u201cLeaky\u201d Homes\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43bca73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43bca73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These inequities are also embedded in the physical condition and age of the housing stock itself. Homes built before 1940 are nearly 30 times more likely to be in inadequate condition and cost nearly 10 times more in routine maintenance than homes built after 2022. The Northeast is the epicenter of aging properties \u2013 buyers in New York State face a national-high median home age of 65 years, a stark contrast to Sun Belt states like Nevada, Arizona, and Texas, where the median home age is 30 years or less (Jones, 2026).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s driving high energy costs in these older homes? A major factor is how well \u2013 or poorly \u2013 homes are sealed and insulated. Signs of poor insulation and air leaks include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drafty rooms or uneven temperatures<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice dams or icicles on the roof<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher-than-expected energy bills<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the City of Kingston (2024), over half of the housing units in Kingston were built before 1939, and many are deteriorating or unsafe. Because these homes are so old, insulation is often missing, insufficient, or settled in exterior walls, providing little protection against extreme temperatures outside. The result: homes that are colder in winter, hotter in summer, and much more expensive to heat and cool.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being some of the oldest building stock in the country \u2013 and facing harsh winters \u2013 is an unfortunate combination. Many homes in the Northeast are simply leaky, which drives up costs and reduces comfort.

A BPI-certified expert inspects the home for air leaks, insulation gaps, inefficient systems, and moisture build-up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A blower door test is typically performed during the energy audit, which measures how much air is leaking in or out of the home per hour. They may also use thermal imaging to detect where heat is escaping through walls \u2013 a phenomenon called thermal bridging. These tools help pinpoint where improvements will have the greatest impact.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our pre- and post-blower door tests show clear results:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before: significant air leaks, uneven temperatures, high energy bills<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After: reduced leaks, lower energy use, more comfortable homes<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, in 2025, we improved air tightness in our participant&#8217;s homes by 35%. Addressing insulation and air leaks not only improves comfort, but can also lead to real cost savings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve heard this directly from community members. One participant shared that after completing air sealing, attic insulation, venting improvements, and wall insulation, their home feels significantly more comfortable and their utility bills have gone down. Another noted they saved over $1,000 on oil in the year following insulation upgrades. Others have seen improvements in spaces that were previously unusable\u2026 like a basement that used to be too cold to spend time in, but is now warm enough to help heat the rest of the home. In that same case, lingering moisture and musty odors were eliminated, reducing the need for a dehumidifier and improving overall air quality.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-597cf88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"597cf88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Houses as Systems, a Holistic Approach\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c63dc00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c63dc00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One key takeaway from the field of building science: insulation alone isn\u2019t enough. General recommendations for adding insulation can often sound like a one-size-fits-all solution, but a home should be treated as a house-as-a-system. What works in one house may cause unintended consequences in another, which is why understanding the full system is so important. For instance, completing air sealing without complementary measures could trap moisture, leading to poor indoor air quality (Building Science Principles Reference Guide, 2015).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why the energy audit piece is so important. A professional energy auditor helps identify which measures should be paired together to make a home as well-sealed and energy-efficient as possible, while also preventing moisture buildup. Homes that have air sealing done before adding insulation stay warmer, use less energy, and have lower heating bills. Our blower door tests consistently show that addressing moisture buildup and completing air sealing first ensures insulation performs at its best while maintaining a healthier, more comfortable home.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d168f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5d168f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Connecting to State Programs\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c7a135 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c7a135\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that support is available to help make these upgrades accessible!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MHET partners with various state programs to make these upgrades accessible.
