Asthma Technical Assistance:
Partnering with Energy Stakeholders
This week, as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) August asthma technical assistance (TA) series, we’re focusing on a new resource to help your asthma program partner with energy stakeholders.
 |
The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) mini-module titled Why Partner With Energy Stakeholders and Programs? includes a video presentation, slides and key readings to highlight why energy programs can be of value to those working to advance and sustain in-home asthma care. Topics include—
- Why collaborating with energy programs makes sense
- How to find potential energy partners for your program
- Examples of existing asthma–energy collaborations across the country
In addition, the mini-module includes links and downloadable reports summarizing research on occupant health benefits of residential energy efficiency and research showing that home performance upgrades can improve the quality of a home’s indoor environment by reducing the prevalence of harmful indoor air pollutants and contaminants. The module also offers information on low-income weatherization programs.

The mission of NCHH is to secure healthy homes for all and reduce health disparities through partnerships, community-based research and advocacy. With the support of EPA, NCHH developed new mini-modules and TA tools to support the design and implementation of asthma home-visiting programs and other in-home asthma environmental interventions. These tools are in addition to the eLearning modules previously developed by NCHH’s Building Systems to Sustain Home-Based Asthma Services that cover topics including Medicaid reimbursement, business case development, workforce and training, evaluation and reporting, and more.
