The Expanded Residential Weatherization Program : Record of Decision.
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6424841
The Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration has decided to expand the present BPA Residential Weatherization Program to make house tightening measures - storm windows, other window treatments conserving energy, wall insulation, weatherstripping, caulking, and door treatments such as thermal pane replacements - available to all electrically heated homes in the BPA service area otherwise eligible for the program, and to adopt mitigation strategies to lessen the risk of adverse human health effects. The mitigation strategies include: (1) giving program participants (residents) information on indoor air pollutant sources and practical steps for reducing concentrations; (2) giving program participants options for having their homes monitored for radon concentrations; and (3) partially subsidizing the installation of a proven mitigation device, if radon concentrations exceed 5 picoCuries per liter, the action level selected by BPA.
