Abstract
The DOE requested NBS to devleop criteria for materials & products to be included in the DOE Weatherization Assistance Program. This program was established by Congressional legislation and directed toward financially assisting low income persons in retrofitting residences to conserve energy. For most cases, only energy saving materials and products for which specs and/or standards are available are to be included in the Weatherization Assistance Program. Because of statutory requirements labor costs for installing weatheriation materials and products are not included in the program. This report identifies criteria for materials and products eligible under the DOE Weatherization Assistance Program. The materials included are insulation and vapor barriers, storm windows and doors, caulking and weatherstripping, clock thermostats, and replacement windows and replacement caulking. The retrofit materials are listed by generic type and recommendaitons are made for their installation.
