Proposal to Change UES Measure Status

• Residential Weatherization Manufactured Home and Single Family– Measures:

• Attic, Floor, and Wall insulation, and Window retrofits• Infiltration Reduction

– Current Status: Active

• The Issue: Infiltration Reduction measures do not account for the increased mechanical ventilation requirements required by the measure.– Savings are too high, costs are too low.

• Staff Recommendation– Change measure status to “Under Review” – RTF staff to work with subcommittee to come up with a proposal to estimate

savings and costs.
