DF2: HOUSING UNIT INFORMATION SURVEY


Thank you for your prompt response to this data request which is part of the ARRA-period evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program. Evaluation results will provide essential feedback to the weatherization community and inform policymakers about the program's effects on clients' energy consumption, cost savings, and non-energy benefits.


This data form collects detailed information about homes weatherized by your agency in Program Year 2010. The information you supply will be used with billing history data to better understand energy savings attributable to the Weatherization Assistance Program under ARRA.


Please use this form (DF2) to provide information about any single family detached and attached houses, mobile homes, or individual units within multi-family buildings. The Building Information Survey (DF3) should be used to document information on small or large multifamily buildings in which the whole building and all units in the building were weatherized or are waitlisted. 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.


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.


Thank you in advance for completing this survey.


Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average twenty hours per weatherization agency, 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 (___________), 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 (_______), Washington, DC  20503.

WEATHERIZATION INFORMATION


Weatherization dates (not audit or inspection dates):

6a. Started: __________ __________ __________

6b. Completed:__________ __________ __________

(month) (day) (year)


The start date is the first date that weatherization improvements were made to the home. The weatherization start date is not the date the audit or home assessment was conducted UNLESS energy efficiency improvements were made at the time of the audit. Client education and low-cost measures such as light bulbs and showerheads ARE considered energy efficiency improvements, and if any of those are implemented at the time of the audit, then the start date is the audit date.


The end date is the last date that weatherization improvements were made to the home, including any rework required after agency or state-level post-weatherization inspections. The date of the post-inspection should NOT be used as the weatherization end date unless the post-inspection was conducted on the last day that improvements were made to the home and no rework was required.

Housing Type Definitions



Single Family Detached – 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 that provides living space for one 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 does not have any other households living above or below, and does not share basement or attic space with other housing units.  Also, an attached house does not share a heating or cooling system with any other housing units.  Examples include row houses, townhouses, condominiums and side-by-side duplexes that do not have shared attics, basements or HVAC equipment.


Small Multi-family (2-4 units) – 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 (5 or More Units per Building) – 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.


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.


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.


1 Report the pressure differential at which the blower door test was performed. A typical value is 50 Pascals. Do not report baseline pressure (typically less than 5 Pascals).

2 Total all of the individual measurements taken at registers in the home. The value for each register should be between 0 and 50 Pascals.

3 Total the number of registers at which the test was performed.

4 Report the pressure differential at which the test was performed (from blower door). A typical value is 50 Pascals.

5 If total duct leakage (inside the home and to the outside) was measured with a Duct BlasterTM or similar equipment, report results in 40a. If duct leakage to the outside was measured, report this result in 40b. Most agencies will report results in “a” or “b,” but not both.

6 Report the house-to-outside pressure differential (from blower door) at which the leakage-to-outside test was performed. A typical value is 25 Pascals.

7 Check 42d if duct sealing or duct repair was performed. Check 46d if new ductwork was installed. Check 49c if new vents, grills or registers were installed.

8 Exclude mobile home belly insulation, which should be listed under 43o.

9 Include central heating systems installed through programs other than WAP, such as emergency heating system replacements funded by LIHEAP.

10 Check 42d if duct sealing or duct repair was performed. Check 46d if new ductwork was installed. Check 49c if new vents, grills or registers were installed.

11 Check 42d if duct sealing OR duct repair was performed. Check 46d if new ductwork was installed.
