Field Weatherization Logistics : Final Report. [Hood River Conservation Project]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6045886
The Hood River Conservation Project (the Project) was funded by the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) with two federal contracts. One contract, with Pacific Power and Light Company (Pacific) and the Hood River Electric Cooperative for $14 million, funded weatherization operations from May 1983 to January 1985. The other contract, with Pacific for $7 million, funds the Project's research and evaluation program from May 1983 to March 1989. This study describes the managerial logistics of retrofitting 2989 residences in the Hood River test area with super-weatherization measures during 30 months of contract time. The total performance cost of the weatherization contract was $14 million, with 87% of that cost, or $12.6 million, spent on retrofit measures and air-to-air heat exchangers (Philips et al., 1987). Approximately 14,000 super-weatherization measures were retrofit in 2989 test-site residences. The Project employed innovative technology to retrofit 530 mobile homes and install 1200 air-to-air heat exchangers.
