Feasibility assessment of energy conservation opportunities for federally owned housing. Final report

OSTI ID:5231107
In summary, this project provides a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of various energy conservation measures for federally owned housing. The methodology considers the type of housing unit, the geographic location and the specific conservation measures employed. The study indicates that five energy conservation measures deserve high priority: sealing of ductwork, duct insulation, caulking and weatherstripping, regular furnace maintenance, and derating and flue baffling of furnaces. In addition, our results show that several other measures are likely to be feasible for federal housing. These include insulation for frame walls, attic insulation, electric vent dampers, storm windows for leaky fenestration, and insulation for masonry walls in electrically heated homes. Four measures were found not to be feasible: insulation of masonry walls in gas heated homes, retrofitting with roof insulation, addition of storm windows for tight fenestration, and installation of vent dampers for furnaces in exterior rooms. 10 refs., 16 figs., 38 tabs.
