CSA Weatherization Demonstration Project Plan

R. Crenshaw / R. Clark / R. Chapman / R. Grot / M. Godette

This report comprises the plan of a research and demonstration effort to determine the fraction of energy that may be saved by installing weatherization retrofits in poor peoples' homes throughout the United States. Two broad groups of weatherization retrofits are considered for application in each dwelling: (1) 'architectural,' those affecting the building shell; and (2) 'mechanical,' those affecting space heating and service hot water systems. The report presents the background of the demonstration, the research tasks associated with the demonstration, a description of the diagnostic tests to be used, the rationale for economic decisions, the tests for evaluating mechanical systems, and the calculation methods used in selecting architectural options.
