Engels, Danielle

The focus of the House Doctor Study is evaluation of the house doctoring program as an addition to the super weatherization levels adopted as targets for the Hood River Conservation Project. The study does not address evaluation of house doctoring as a ''stand alone'' alternative weatherization program, nor does it address the theoretical potential of extensive house doctoring. Results of house doctoring were measured in terms of weather normalized kilowatt-hour savings in a comparison of the 1982-1983 and 1984-1985 winter seasons, before and after house doctoring and super weatherization. Results were also measured in terms of reduction in air changes per hour (ACH), which indicates how often outside air replaces air in the home; and in reducing effective leakage area (ELA), which is a summed representation of all household infiltration sites.
