Abstract | This pamphlet is a homeowner's guide to home weatherization. It provides a step-by-step energy audit that anyone can use to help determine the insulation needs of their home. This is not a "how-to-do-it" booklet, but is a guide by which homeowners can determine the best combination of improvements for their house, climate, and fuel costs. Provided is all the information needed to: (1) determine the heating index; (2) determine the cooling indices for attics and walls; (3) determine attic floor and duct insulation; and (4) determine the wall insulation and storm window needs. A work sheet is given, with a completed example, for estimating the costs of improvements. Additional discussions explore: (1) the benefits of investing in energy saving home improvements; (2) insulation ratings; (3) moisture control; (4) insulation in attics and crawlspaces; (5) insulation in exterior walls; (6) insulation under floors; and (7) storm windows and doors.
