A Community Energy Navigator is a trusted, independent advisor for consumers. Navigators are often housing counselors or financial coaches who help homeowners and renters access and understand the benefits of investing in home weatherization, energy efficiency, home electrification, electric vehicle adoption, ways to create safer and healthier homes, and how to utilize incentives like rebates and tax credits. Navigators assist by clarifying these complex programs and connecting homeowners and renters with qualified energy auditors and weatherization contractors. Additionally, Navigators raise awareness about common scams.
This Practitioner Toolkit supports professionals in various fields, including housing counselors, financial coaches, energy program specialists, community engagement practitioners, and others involved in affordable housing and community development, to serve as Navigators.
