INSTRUCTIONS

Table A – GENERAL DATA

• Quality Control Inspector (QCI) must review client file, circle Y N or NA ensuring that the Building Analyst (BA) or Energy Auditor (EA) captured all applicable information for a client’s home evaluation, such as address, client ID, auditor’s name, etc. Most of the abbreviations should be self-explanatory, however here is a list:

SF - Single-Family (site-built)

MH - Manufactured Housing (including doublewide homes, but not modular)

MF - Multifamily Housing (any building containing 5 or more units under the same roof)

Cond. - Conditioned - meaning it is intentionally heated or cooled the majority of the year

UnCond. - Unconditioned - not intentionally heated or cooled the majority of the year.

DWH - Domestic Water Heater

Elec - Electric

NG - Natural Gas

LP - Liquid Propane

A/C - Air Conditioning

Win - Window units (room cooling).

Cent. - Central system (provides cooling for the entire home)

CO - Carbon Monoxide

Table B - FUNDING SOURCE

• QCI must review Client File Summary Sheet, ensuring that the BA/EA recorded all applicable expenditures as they relate to DOE/LIHEAP funds utilized to address dwelling. (QCI must record final review expenditures in this section)

Table C - H&S/IRM (MWFG, Ch. 2.1.2, page 73)

• QCI must review Client File, circle Y N or NA, ensuring that the BA/EA recorded all potential IRM or H&S items that may need to be addressed. This is not an exhaustive list but contains many of the most common issues. Issues that are not included may be noted in Table E. Any checklist item that is identified during the audit should be detailed in Table

E. (QCI must compare Table E to this section)

Table D - Photo Checklist

• QCI must review Client File, circle Y N or NA, ensuring that the BA/EA provided legible photos of all necessary items/areas of the home according to the Energy Audit Photography

Guidance. This list includes primary items that must be photographed but is not exhaustive.

13 | P a g e

INSTRUCTIONS CON’T

Table E - Identified Issues/Comments/Deferrals/H&S Concerns (MWFG, Ch. 2.2.3, page

76)

• QCI must review Client File, ensuring that the BA/EA clearly detail any issues noted in

Table C, including anything that would lead to deferral or that will require repair measures to be included in the work scope. (QCI must record and verify identified conditions)

AIR/DUCT LEAKAGE & VENTILATION

T1 Blower Door Test Data TARGET: CFM 50

QCI must complete this section according to the following:

• Target - Pre-Audit blower door measurement and the home’s square footage will determine the Target for air sealing, which are as follows:

>5000 cfm50 = ft2/2 cfm

5000 – 3000 cfm50 = ft2/1.5 cfm

2999 – 1500 cfm50 = ft2/1 cfm

<1500 cfm50 = ft2/.75 cfm

Any home at or below .75 cfm/ft2 target is to have a target of 10% reduction. All homes must have an infiltration reduction of at least 10%.

Example: Square footage of home is 1500 ft2 and the Pre blower reading is 3500 cfm50, 3500 cfm50 is between 5000 – 3000 cfm50, therefore, your multiplier is 1.5, multiply 1500

* 1.5 to determine the target, which is equal to 2250 cfm50. 2250 cfm50 represent the measured leakage @ 50pa in RED Calc. (MWFG Ch. 9)

• Record whether the house was depressurized (Y) or pressurized (N) during air leakage testing. This should be performed the same way for each subsequent test.

• Record whether the basement or other subspace (i.e. crawlspace) was included in the thermal/pressure envelope of the house when work was complete. Remember, if the subspace was included in the envelope, the conditioned space will be considered for the rest of the calculations such as square footage, volume, etc.

• Altitude - This is used to normalize flow rates based on air density and should be recorded for the site based on feet above sea level.

• Temp ID/OD - Record temperature in Fahrenheit for both the indoors (ID) and outdoors

(OD) at the time of the test. This is also a factor in normalizing flow rates based on temperature differences.

• CFM50 with and without the basement/subspace (Base) is included if a door exists between the main living space and the subspace to help determine if the subspace should be included in the envelope or not. If you do not have a subspace that could be included in the envelope

14 | P a g e such as a basement or connected crawlspace, then enter “N/A” in the “CFM50 w/Base” cell.

• QCI must include the results of the initial Energy Audit (BA/EA), In-Process, when air sealing is finished (CL), and at the final inspection (QCI).

Table 2 – Ventilation (MWFG, Ch. 9, page 373)

• QCI must verify the ventilation fan information recorded by the BA/EA, CL and document final results on all exhaust/supply fans that are intended to be included in ASHRAE 62.2-

2016 calculations. This includes every kitchen, every full bath (meaning contains shower or bathtub), and any Whole House Ventilation (WHV) that might exist either at the audit or at the end of the project.

• QCI must note whether or not the fan is properly vented to the outside, if there is an

Operable Window (OW) in the room where it exists, whether a fan was added to the room according to the NEAT/MHEA work order, and record the measured CFM at each stage of the project (BA/EA, CL, & QCI)

Table 3 - Zonal Testing (MWFG, Ch. 12.4.3, page 515)

• These tests are always conducted with the house either pressurized or depressurized by a blower door to 50 Pascals (PA) difference with reference to the outside (WRTO). Primary zones to be tested are spaces that are usually outside the envelope, or that may be considered for sealing to the outside of the home. This is not to be confused with room to room pressure testing which is done with the air handler or ventilation system running, not the blower door. There are blank spaces for recording other spaces that may be tested. QCI must conduct testing to verify the measurements provided by the BA/EA, and CL if applicable. Circle Y, N, or NA indicating if area was tested and recorded correctly.

Table 4 - Pressure Pans (MWFG, Ch. 8.13.1, page 332)

• This table is used to record the pressure testing performed on the duct system with the blower door at 50PA WRT to the outside. Record an accurate location description to make testing repeatable and do not forget to test return ducts as well. QCI must conduct testing to verify the measurements provided by the BA/EA, and CL if applicable. Circle Y, N, or

NA indicating if area was tested and recorded correctly.

• Record the total number of systems that exist in the home. If more than one system exists, attach additional model numbers and performance data to the audit form on another page.

• Record the type of units that exist. Window or Central (W or C) and whether the unit is only an Air Conditioner (A/C) or a Heat Pump (HP)

• Mini-split units that provide cooling for the entire home should be considered as

“Central”, but if only for a portion of the house then as a Room or “Window” unit.

• Be sure to record the Model Number if legible as this is the source of all the performance data for the unit. If the Model Number is not legible, then estimate the age to determine modeling inputs accurately.

• KBTU should be accurately determined from the Model Number or label.

• Be sure to include a picture of all labels in the client file.

• CO - Carbon Monoxide (CO) parts per millionth (PPM) Air Free (AF or COO) and

As Measured (AM).

• Spillage time - Record in minutes and seconds (0:00) for each appliance that is vented.

• Stack Temperature - Record the flue gas temperature that is leaving the heating unit through the chimney or flue vent in Fahrenheit.

• SSE% - Steady State Efficiency percentage (SSE%) is the calculated efficiency that a combustion analyzer provides for the heating system. Record this to the first decimal place (0.0)

Table 14 - CAZ Worst Case Test- QCI must record the BA/EA per-data and conduct testing to verify provided data. QCI Must Indicate if Testing Pass or Fail

• Record results in Pascals (PA) and note either negative or positive numbers (-/+) with reference to outside

• There is a line for each step and each step should be recorded. BPI 1200 is the minimum testing standard

Table 15 - Domestic Water Heater- QCI must record the BA/EA per-data and conduct testing

• This table mimics the heating system table with a few additions

• Gallons - The water heater capacity in gallons

• Water Temp - Record water temperature in Fahrenheit at the tap closest to the water heater

• Tank R-value - Record total R-value of the water heater tank insulation

• Pipe Ins. - Record whether or not pipe insulation is currently installed on accessible water heater pipes

Table 16 - Gas Range/Oven Test- QCI must record the BA/EA per-data and conduct testing

• Note whether the range and oven are Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP)

• If electric, write “N/A - Elec.” In the table

18 | P a g e

• Record the steady state CO as measured for the oven

• Record the steady state CO as measures for the range top (Rng Top CO) if testing is performed. Record the stove top measurements in a clockwise order starting with the front left burner.

Table 17 – Dryer- QCI must record the BA/EA per-data and conduct testing to verify provided data. Circle Y, N, or NA indicating if measurements and other areas of this table were recorded correctly.

• Record the fuel type of the dryer; i.e. Electric (Elec), Natural Gas (NG), or Propane (LP)

• Note if the dryer is vented correctly according to the Standard Work Specifications (SWS

6.6005.1)

• Note if the venting of the dryer is insulated (Vent Insul?) in unconditioned space

If the dryer is a gas unit, record the Air-Free Carbon Monoxide (COO) measurement

Table 18-Unvented Space Heaters (MWFGF, Ch. 8.5, page 285, SWS 2.0202.1)- QCI must record the BA/EA per-data and conduct testing to verify provided data. Circle Y, N, or NA indicating if measurements and other areas of this table were recorded correctly.

• Loc: Indicate the location of the unvented space heater.

• Make: Note the manufacturer of the unit.

• Model #: Record the model number of the unvented space heater, not the serial number.

• BTU Input: Record the BTU input (in BTU/hour) from the nameplate.

• Ventable: Circle “Yes” or “No” to indicate the presence of a removable plate that will expose an exhaust hole that will enable the existing unvented space heater to be vented.

• CO: Record the results of the carbon monoxide test (in parts per million, ppm).

• Primary or Secondary: Circle one to indicate of the unvented space heater is the primary heat source, or a secondary source of heat.

• Gas Shutoff: Circle “Yes” or “No” to indicate the presence of a gas shutoff valve.

• Gas Leak: Circle “Yes” or “No” to indicate the presence of a gas leak as determined by a gas sniffer. If the gas sniffer confirms a gas leak, note the exact location of the leak so that it can be fixed.

• Comments: Make notes about which units were repaired, removed, replaced, or vented.

(See work order)

Table 19 - Work Order Measures List- QCI must review the BA/EA NEAT/MHEA Audits recommended measures. And follow guidelines below:

• This table should record the final work order listed in the order that the audit recommended the measures

• Targets, bag counts, square footages, R-values, etc. should be included in the measures list for clarity

19 | P a g e

• (P/F) - Pass/Fail should be noted in the second column for each measure at the initial inspection. Any failed item should be detailed in Table 22 for rework.

Table 20 - Installation Standard Checklist QCI must ensure that measures were installed according to the SWS’s. Circle Y, N, or NA (See additional guidance below)

• This list includes common Standard Work Specification (SWS) items to be verified. The location of these SWS items are noted in the Citation column. This is not an exhaustive list, but many of the main items are included. There are some empty rows that allow the

QCI to include items that are specific to this project for verification.

Table 21 - Rework/Callback/Repair- QCI Must:

• Record the date the measure failed

• Detail the repair needed

• Note the citation number from the SWS or your Field Guide for the reason it failed inspection

• Once the rework is completed, check the box in the “Done” column to verify completion as the QCI

Table 22 - QCI Client File Folder Review

• QCI must conduct a complete file folder review and circle Y, N or NA on listed documents in sections 1-5.

Table 23 - QCI NEAT/MHEA Software Entries Audit Review

• QCI must conduct a NEAT/MHEA Audit review and circle Y, N or NA to verify if the

BA/EA recorded data properly.

• This is the final sign-off by the BPI certified Quality Control Inspector (QCI) for the project. This should not be completed until all installed measures are completed in compliance with all program requirements, the Audit Checklist is complete, and the project is ready to be closed out.

• The QCI printed name, signature, certification #, and date must be legible for the project to be closed out and accepted by DOE for payment.
