Akiachak Energy Efficiency Retrofit Project

Summary

The Akiachak Native Community, a remote Yup’ik Tribe in Alaska, faced high energy costs and waste due to reliance on imported heating oil. This project aimed to enhance energy performance in key community buildings by implementing high-impact energy efficiency retrofits, such as air sealing, LED lighting, and programmable thermostats. Despite focusing on a single building (the Tribal IRA Office) due to budget and COVID-19 limitations, the initiative successfully reduced energy use intensity by approximately 26%.
