| Abstract | U.S. households spent on average 5.6% of their income on energy, with 40% of energy losses through the envelope. Homes with deteriorated insulation and aging structure face disproportionately high energy costs. Retrofitting and weatherization are key strategies for enhancing building performance and resilience against environmental stress. However, traditional energy audits and retrofitting methods are labor-intensive, costly, and often inaccessible to the populations who need them most. This pr |
