NEEM Manufactured Homes Field Test Results David Baylon, Ecotope
2
NEEM Program Manufacturer and State collaboration to set, update and maintain energy efficiency standards Provide QC for efficiency measures in the plant Support the promotion of energy efficient manufactured homes Built on the MAP program operated by BPA from 1992-1996, –Significant electric savings –30 years of utility involvement
3
Field Sample Field Review designed to track overall performance. –Four samples since 1992. –1992-1993, 1997-1998, 2000-2001, 2006-2007 Sample size stratified by state, 90/10 criteria Designed to provide overall estimates of duct leakage, air sealing, and lighting power Protocol includes details on heating and cooling systems, occupant satisfaction, and ventilation systems.
