Berry, L; Tonn, B

This report describes an effort to explore loan impacts and decisionmaking processes in home energy audit programs. Data collected in a recent evaluation of two Northern States Power (NSP) programs in Minnesota are used for two purposes. First, the effect of loan availability on investment levels and energy savings is estimated while controlling for self-selection. Second, models that predict audit, loan and retrofit expenditure decisions are developed. These models are intended to be an initial step in identifying characteristics of successful programs and in suggesting useful marketing strategies.
