SCOPE OF WORK Applicants must have the ability to provide all shell weatherization services listed below. If you wish to focus on a specific geographic area, please indicate so by naming the counties you are willing to serve on the required Weatherization Subcontractor Profile and Certification Form. The sub - grantee performs a comprehensive energy audit documented on the Home Energy Assessment Checklist on every home. As a result of this audit, a scope of work is developed. When shell measures are listed on the scope of work, the sub - grantee will perform a pre- and post - weatherization blower door test will be performed on each house. The results must be documented on the job report. Air leakage diagnosed using the blower door will determine the closure target for the weatherization shell service providers to achieve. All measures to be installed and closure targets will be provided on the Work Order submitted to contracted service providers. After the Work Order is completed, the sub - grantee will conduct a final inspection to ensure all work has been completed properly and materials that were charged to the job were installed, including a post - weatherization blower door test. Jobs that fall at or below the air leakage closure target will be subjected to additional monitoring. Possible shell measures that might be recommended on the Work Order include: A description of each of these measures follows. Unless otherwise noted, the shell services described for site -built homes are the same as for manufactured homes. NOTE: Windows and doors in extreme disrepair are not considered an air leakage measure, but rather an "incidental repair ", as defined in the DOE regulations CFR 440.3 and in the N.C. Health and Safety Plan. TASK 1: SEAL MAJOR AIR LEAKS AND BYPASSES A. Use the blower door to track air sealing. B. Prevent convective and conductive heat loss, which results from the free movement of air between the attic and basement /crawlspace. In addition to the following requirements, ventilated attics must have a post -test zonal pressure of at least 45 Pascals with reference to the house. A visual inspection must be performed in addition to attaining the zonal pressure required above. 1. Seal bypasses in stud cavities and joist cavities to stop free air movement.
