Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6674572

The Home Energy Audit System (HEA), a software system, is a cooperative effort of the National Bureau of Standards and Applied Urbanetics, Inc. It is anticipated that this system will be sponsored by a variety of public and private organizations such as the Federal, state, and local governments as well as such private organizations as financial institutions and utilities. Design of the system will allow the computer processing to be run on IBM, CDC, or UNIVAC computer equipment. The objective of the system is to provide a capability that will take information from a homeowner questionnaire, process the information, and develop a list of recommendations in the form of a Homeowner Report. The recommendations will highlight cost-effective data for such actions as: insulation, storm windows and doors, caulking and weather stripping, water heater insulation, and solar water heating. Annual savings will be identified. The forerunner of HEA was Project Conserve. (MCW)
