“…This is consistent with other studies of NEAT and MHEA, which found that they over predicted, on average, pre-weatherization space-heating energy consumption by between 10−35% (Ternes 2007). …”

“…However, many of the manufactured homes in ResDB were measured by WAPs. A recent study on this type of homes found many had minimal insulation and single pane windows, and relatively high blower door measurements >3,000 CFM50 (Ternes, 2007). These observations explain higher NL among manufactured homes relative to the other housing types, as shown in Figure 1.…”

The LBNL Residential Diagnostics Database (ResDB) contains blower door measurements and other diagnostic test results for US homes. Most of the data have been contributed by weatherization assistance programs and residential energy efficiency programs. We analyzed the air leakage measurements, using normalized leakage as the metric, of 134,000 single-family detached homes. Almost all 50 US states are represented.We performed regression analyses to examine the relationship between normalized leakage and various house characteristics. We identified parameters that are useful as explanatory variables, including floor area, height, vintage, and climate zone. Foundation type and whether ducts are located outside or inside the conditioned space also were found to be useful parameters for predicting normalized leakage. We developed a Table of Contents ABSTRACT .

“…Recognizing those discrepancies, improvements to the projections have been proposed and implemented in some cases (e.g. Ternes and Gettings, 2008;Ternes, 2007). 2 Additional benefits from the program may include improved health, through better indoor air quality and comfort (Tonn, Rose, and Hawkins, 2018;Pigg, Cautley, and Francisco, 2018).…”

Evaluations of energy effciency programs reveal that realized savings consistently fall short of projections. We decompose this ‘performance wedge’ using data from the Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (IHWAP) and a machine learning-based event study research design. We find that bias in engineering models can account for up to 41% of the wedge, primarily from overestimated savings in wall insulation. Heterogeneity in workmanship can also account for a large fraction (43%) of the wedge, while the rebound effect can explain only 6%. We find substantial heterogeneity in energy-related benefits from IHWAP projects, suggesting opportunities for better targeting of investments.
