RTF deemed measures: Residential: Weatherization

Residential: Weatherization - Manufactured Home
Category	Proven Measures can obtain approval for Proven status if the section 3.2.3 UES quality criteria for Proven measures are satisfied. Sunset criteria will be assigned by the RTF along with a plan for data collection and analysis that allows the UES estimate to be reviewed and updated in a timely fashion.
Status	Active These measures have received approval by the RTF and have no other associated review pending. (Under review for Infiltration Reduction measures)

	Decision (show decision details)
3/13/2012	Approve SF and MH Residential Weatherization Infiltration Reduction (Whole-house air sealing) measures to "Under Review" status. Measure category unchanged Measure status changed: Previous status - Active; New approved status - Active (Infiltration Reduction Measures: Under Review). Energy savings unchanged Cost effectiveness unchanged Specifications/Eligibility unchanged Planned future work: RTF staff to work with subcommittee to come up with a proposal to estimate savings and costs. Infiltration Reduction measures do not account for the increased mechanical ventilation requirements required by the measure. Savings are too high, costs are too low.
2/14/2012	The RTF approved the Manufactured Home Weatherization UES Measure under active status with a sunset date of 5 years. Measure category unchanged Measure status changed: New Approved Status: Active. Previous status: Under Review Energy savings unchanged Cost effectiveness unchanged Specifications/Eligibility changed: Clarified "average" heating system measures are not to be combined with heating-system-specific measures within the same program. Also, revised infiltration measure to be per CFM50, rather than per 100 CFM50.
2/14/2012	The RTF adopted the Residential Weatherization Research Data Collection Plan for Determining the Impact of Prescriptive Air Sealing on Ventilation and Infiltration Resulting from the Implementation of the RTF Residential Weatherization Measure Specifications.” (No changes to status, energy savings, cost effectiveness or specifications.)
1/17/2012	Approve "under review" status for manufactured housing weatherization UES measures. RTF to conduct a quality control check on the workbook. Measure category unchanged Measure status changed: Previous Status: Out-of-Compliance New Approved Status: Under Review Energy savings changed: Yes. Reduction in savings (1% to 35%). See presentation for details by measure. Cost effectiveness changed: Yes. Three measures, all in houses with heat pumps, no longer cost-effective: Window conversions from double pane in Heating Zone 2 (2 measures) and Infiltration reduction in Heating Zone 1. Specifications/Eligibility unchanged Planned future work: Staff to solicit voluntary RTF member review of the workbook for errors with review due in time for February meeting packet in order to complete the update to active measure status.
11/1/2011	The RTF approved the Residential Weatherization Inspector Examination and method developed by the Residential Weatherization Specification Subcommittee. Measure category unchanged Measure status unchanged Energy savings unchanged Cost effectiveness unchanged: Inspection requirements may increase cost. Specifications/Eligibility changed: Inspector exam approval initiates Residential Weatherization Specifications approved October 4, 2011. These specificaitons now apply to MF, MH, and SF Weatherization measures. Planned future work: Res WX subcommittee to complete air tightness evaluation plan.
8/30/2011	Approve the Residential Weatherization Specifications developed by the Residential Weatherization Specification Subcommittee dated August 31, pending development of an inspection test with a sunset date of three years from the date of adoption of the inspector test. Measure category unchanged Measure status changed Energy savings changed: To be determined Cost effectiveness changed: Yes, cost of implementation estimated to rise Specifications/Eligibility changed: Specifications moe specific and requirements are better detailed Planned future work: Develop inspector tests; Identify any increase in cost for measure implementation
8/30/2011	The RTF advises that the region undertake an evaluation of the impact of the non-whole house air sealing weatherization measures through pre and post blower door tests with the RTF establishing a subcommittee to develop an evaluation design. Measure category unchanged Measure status unchanged Energy savings unchanged Cost effectiveness changed: Cost for evaluation increased Specifications/Eligibility unchanged
