The Bonneville Power Administration currently is sponsoring a program that offers reduce heating bills and greater living comfort to buyers of new all-electric homes in the Pacific Northwest. The Residential Construction Demonstration Project (RCDP) focuses its efforts on saving electricity by making new homes more energy efficient. The RCDP began with the solicitation of qualified builders at the start of 1986--this was called Cycle 1. To participate, contractors had to agree to build their new homes to SGC specifications, use the MCS- approved air leakage control Package B, install energy use monitoring equipment, and incorporate at least one of the RCDP Cycle 1 energy saving innovations. This report summarizes analysis results of the RCDP Cycle 1 Builder Exit Survey. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information about builders participating in the program. It was broken into three major categories: Company Profile; Project Evaluation; and Experience With RCDP Construction Innovations. The Washington State Energy Office (WSEO) mailed surveys to all the RCDP Cycle 1 builders. Of the 112 builders who participated in Cycle 1 of the RCDP, 64 (56 percent) completed a survey. Half of the builders who responded were from Washington.
