Energy assessment
A no-cost evaluation that shows where your church can save.Local homes
What Worcester homes need
Worcester is known for its triple-deckers, most built between the 1880s and the 1920s, along with Victorians on the West Side and post-war capes and ranches in the outer neighborhoods. Older wood-frame walls are often empty or have insulation that has settled over the decades.
Worcester is built on seven hills, and homes on exposed streets near Grafton Hill, Vernon Hill or Tatnuck take the full force of winter wind. Neighborhoods such as Main South, Green Island, Shrewsbury Street and the West Side each have their own mix of triple-deckers, two-families and single-family homes, which is why we look at every building separately.
Worcester County is the largest county in Massachusetts by area, and it spans hill towns, mill villages and fast-growing suburbs, so housing ages and heating fuels vary a lot from town to town.

Climate zone 5A targets
Homes in Worcester sit in climate zone 5A, where ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Settled or missing insulation is common in older buildings. New construction and major renovations in Massachusetts follow the state energy code, and many towns have adopted the stricter Stretch or Specialized codes.
