Three3 was awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, through its Evidence for Action: Investigator-Initiated Research to Build a Culture of Health program. Through this research project we will explore the health impacts of Knoxville's Extreme Energy Makeover (KEEM) program and examine the program's impacts on: health and well-being, and related healthcare costs; as well as how energy cost savings affect household budgets. Not only are we honored to be a RWJF grantee but we are wicked excited that we have the opportunity to conduct this research in our home town; and collaborate with the City of Knoxville's Sustainability office, Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (our local weatherization agency), Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville Utilities Board, and The Center for Applied Research and Evaluation (CARE) at the University of Tennessee.

Massachusetts Low-Income Single-Family Health- and Safety-Related Non-Energy Impacts (NEIs) Study
Massachusetts Low-Income Single-Family Health- and Safety-Related Non-Energy Impacts (NEIs) Study
Eversource, New England’s largest energy delivery company along with six other gas and electric utility companies in the State of MA contracted Three3 to estimate the health and safety-related non-energy impacts (NEIs) accruing to recipients of energy efficiency services residing in low-income households in Massachusetts. The NEI study includes the evaluation and monetization of eight NEIs: 1) reduced asthma symptoms; 2) reduced cold-related thermal stress; 3) reduced heat-related thermal stress; 4) reduced missed days at work; 5) reduced use of short-term, high interest loans; 6) increased home productivity; 7) reduced carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning; and 8) reduced home fires.
The overall valuation results were driven quite strongly by the assertion that the program is saving lives; however, given the uncertainty surrounding the estimate of the number of deaths avoided, the household cost savings are presented in the final report both with and without the avoided death benefit (with the avoided death benefit applied as a household benefit). The annual estimated total values of the monetized NEIs selected for the study, per weatherized unit, for both societal and household benefit categories are as follows:

The annual estimated total values of the monetized NEIs selected for the study, per weatherized unit, for both societal and household benefit categories are as follows:
- Annual Total Household Benefit, per weatherized home: $941.87 (without avoided death benefit: $224.88)
- Annual Total Societal Benefit—per weatherized home: $439.84
