Weatherization-Plus-Health Structural
Interventions
County housing authority personnel conducted
a weatherization-plus-health audit that
determined the scope of structural interventions.
The “weatherization” part included diagnostic
home air tightness measurements,
combustion safety testing, a heating system
assessment, and an assessment of moisturerelated
problems. The housing authority used
the US Department of Energy---approved
Targeted Residential Analysis Energy Tool
(TREAT) software to determine weatherization
work specifications, including energy upgrades,
related repairs, and health and safety improvements,
with work varying in intensity and cost
depending on the type of dwelling (apartments
vs duplexes or single-family homes).
