A blower door testing system was in place a the back door in the home of Leona Pena whose house was used for the officially launching of the pilot program of Kentucky's Clean Energy Corps in Lexington, Ky., on Thursday, February 26, 2009. The blower door test helps determine the amount of air leakage in the house. The holes in the wall are for insulation to be blown in, and she also received a new energy-efficient refrigerator, right. Pena's home, on Northside Drive, was retrofitted with energy efficient appliances, windows, furnace and insulation as part of the program which aims to make homes 20-30 percent more energy efficient in order to save low income families money and reduce demand for electricity. Pena's home is the first of 100 low to moderate-income Central Kentucky homes to receive energy efficiency rehabilitation in the program, according to the press release Photo by David Stephenson | Staff
