| (a) Subrecipient must conduct a whole house assessment
on all eligible Dwelling Units. Whole house assessments must be used
to determine whether the Priority List or an Energy Audit is most
appropriate for the unit. Whole house assessments must collect all
required Energy Audit information to include all the items described
in paragraphs (1) - (15) of this subsection:
(1) Wall--Condition, type, orientation, and existing
R-values;
(2) Windows--Condition, type material, glazing type,
leakiness, and solar screens;
(3) Doors--Condition, type;
(4) Attic--Type, condition, existing R-values, and
ventilation;
(5) Foundation--Condition, existing R-values, and floor
height above ground level;
(6) Heating System--For all systems: unit type, fuel
source (primary or secondary), thermostat, and output; for combustion
systems only: vented or unvented efficiency, CO-levels, complete fuel
gas analysis, gas leaks, and combustion venting;
(7) Cooling System--Unit type, condition, area cooled,
size in BTU rating, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) or Energy
Efficiency Rating (EER), manufacture date, and thermostat;
(8) Duct System--Condition, existing insulation level,
evaluation of registers, duct infiltration, return air register size,
and condition of plenum joints;
(9) Water Heater--For all water heaters: condition,
fuel type, energy factor, recovery efficiency, input and output ratings,
size, existing insulation levels, existing pipe insulation; for combustion
water heaters only: carbon monoxide levels, draft test, complete fuel
gas analysis;
(10) Refrigerator--Condition, manufacturer, manufacture
date and make, model, and consumption reading (minutes and meter reading);
customer refusal must be documented;
(11) Lighting System--Quantity, watts, and estimated
hours used per day;
(12) Water Savers--Number of showerheads, estimated
gallons per minute and estimated minutes used per day;
(13) Health and Safety--For all units: smoke detectors,
wiring, minimum air exchange, moisture problems, lead paint present,
asbestos siding present, condition of chimney, plumbing problems,
mold; for units with combustion appliances: unvented space heaters,
carbon monoxide levels on all combustion appliances, carbon monoxide
detectors;
(14) Air Infiltration--To be determined from Blower
Door testing; areas requiring air sealing will be noted; and
(15) Repairs--Measures needed to preserve or protect
installed Weatherization measures may include lumber, shingles, flashing,
siding, masonry supplies, minor window repair, gutters, downspouts,
paint, stains, sealants, and underpinning.
(b) If using the Energy Audit, all allowable Weatherization
measures needed must be entered. Measures will be performed in order
of highest SIR to lowest depending on funds available. If using the
Priority List, included Weatherization measures must be addressed
according to the instructions in the Weatherization Contract, Priority
List criteria, and the Department's DOE Priority List policies and
procedures (if applicable).
