The Hood River Conservation Project (HRCP) is a major residential retrofit research and demonstration project being conducted in the community of Hood River, Oregon. HRCP's primary purpose is to determine the size and cost of conservation resources in existing homes in the Pacific Northwest. The project seeks to install as many cost-effective retrofit measures in as many electrically-heated homes as possible. HRCP offers a package of ''super'' retrofit measures and pays for installation of these measures up to a cost-effectiveness limit roughly four times that in other residential retrofit programs in the region. This paper documents the extent to which measures included in the Project are actually installed in participant homes.
