State Technical Monitor and QCI
Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development
Richmond, Virginia
My name is D. Jennifer Mares. I serve as the State Technical Monitor and Quality Control Inspector for the Virginia Department of Housing & Community Development, Office of Energy Efficiency. My start in the Wonderful World of Weatherization began in 2009 while living in San Luis Obisbo, CA during the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act aka ARRA. As a WAP installer of the following measures: blower-door guided air-sealing, attic and floor insulation, duct cleaning/ mastic and installed surface mounted fans aka ASHRAE fans, the knowledge learned and skills developed propelled my WAP career opportunities during (2010-2021) in programs from California, South and North Carolinas, Ohio and Virginia as a Energy Auditor, Program Coordinator/Manager and Utility Weatherization Program Manager. From surviving ARRA and the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Wonderful World of Weatherization has provided me my dream job because it is a great fit with my Architectural Engineering/Environmental education along with my desire to improve buildings where we live, work and play! For fun, I enjoy watching gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, hunting and traveling with my nieces and nephews.
