Ternes, M P; Hu, P S

The Oklahoma Cooling Retrofit Field Test will be performed to determine the magnitude of the cooling-energy savings attributed to the installation of conservation measures as typically installed by Oklahoma's Low-Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and the additional savings that can be achieved by the installation of two cooling retrofit measures: replacement of low-efficiency window air conditioners with high-efficiency units and installation of attic radiant barriers. This report is an experimental plan presenting the specific research goals and questions to be addressed by the field test, the responsibilities of the six field test participants, 16 tasks required to complete the field test, the experimental design, the data requirements and the instrumentation to collect the data, a data management procedure to store the data and check it for errors, and analysis procedures to be employed to study the collected data. 13 refs., 9 figs., 5 tabs.
