BUILDING INFORMATION SURVEY


This survey collects detailed information about multi-family buildings weatherized (or waitlisted) by your agency that have been selected for analysis by the national evaluation. The data you supply will be used with billing history data to better understand energy savings attributable to the Weatherization Assistance Program.


Please use this form to provide information about small or large multifamily buildings in which the whole building and all units in the building were weatherized or are waitlisted. The Housing Unit Information Survey should be used to document information on any single family detached and attached houses, mobile homes, or individual units within multi-family buildings. Refer to the definitions of each building type provided at the end of the survey because these definitions are slightly different than those commonly used within the Weatherization Assistance Program.


Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average eight hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Office of the Chief Information Officer, Records Management Division, IM-11, Paperwork Reduction Project (1910-5151), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC, 20585-1290; and to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OIRA, Paperwork Reduction Project (1910-5151), Washington, DC  20503.


All of the information obtained from this survey will be protected and will remain confidential. The data will be analyzed in such a way that the information provided cannot be associated back to your state, your agencies, or the housing units and clients that your state served.

Building Type Definitions:


Single-family detached house—House that provides living space for one family or household, is contained within walls that go from the basement (or the ground floor, if there is no basement) to the roof, and has no walls that are shared (or built in contact) with another household. A manufactured house assembled on site is a single-family detached housing unit, not a mobile home.


Single-family attached house—House that provides living space for one family or household, is contained within walls that go from the basement (or the ground floor, if there is no basement) to the roof, has at least one wall that is shared (or built in contact) with an adjacent household, and has an independent outside entrance. An attached house is not divided into more than one housing unit and does not have a household living above or below another one within the walls extending from the basement to the roof to separate any adjacent units. Examples include a house that is a side-by-side duplex, part of a townhouse building, and a row house.


Mobile home—Home that is built on a movable chassis, is moved to the site, and may be placed on a permanent or temporary foundation. If rooms are added to the structure, it is considered a mobile home if the added floor area is less than the mobile home’s original floor area; otherwise, it is a single-family detached house. A manufactured house assembled on site is a single-family detached house, not a mobile home.


Small multifamily—Building with two to four housing units (i.e., building that is divided into living quarters for two, three, or four families or households) in which one household lives above or beside another and does not meet the single-family attached house definition. Includes houses originally intended for occupancy by one family (or for some other use) that have since been converted to separate dwellings for two to four families. Typical arrangements in these types of living quarters are separate apartments downstairs and upstairs or one apartment on each of three or four floors.


Large multifamily—Building with five or more housing units (i.e., building that contains living quarters for five or more families or households) that does not meet the single-family attached house definition.


Shelter—Structure whose principal purpose is to house individuals on a temporary basis who may or may not be related to one another and who are not living in nursing homes, prisons, or similar institutional care facilities.
