This report summarizes radon concentrations in indoor air measured in occupied residential dwellings in the Pacific Northwest. The dwellings are part of the Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA) Residential Standards Demonstration Program (RSDP). Construction costs, thermal performance, and indoor air quality effects of the Model Conservation Standards (MCS) were studied. Construction costs were being studied using detailed cost accounting obtained from the builder of the MCS dwelling and a hypothetical equivalent dwelling built to current practice. Thermal performance was assessed using weekly summaries of submetered space and water heating energy. Indoor air quality was studied using a fan pressurization infiltration test. 11 refs., 21 figs., 11 tabs.
