If you haven't heard from IHCDA already, DOE has approved a new method of determining how much can be spent on incidental repairs associated with energy conservation activities. I won't go into the details much, as IHCDA is taking the lead on that front. Just ask Ray to explain how it works. I do want everyone to know that the new hard copy versions of the work orders have been on the Intelligent Weatherization site for a short while.
Updated versions of the digital job books should follow, but not in the immediate future. Between Add a Hole field training, University of Illinois ventilation research and other field trainings, it is looking like it would be the end of the month at the very earliest before any of those are updated. Speaking of the Add a Hole training, there is a new line in the pressure diagnostics page of the site built work order form where zonal cfm leakage rates can be documented. Before the new work orders are integrated into the digital job books, there are other electronic forms that are due for some user interface changes. Tom Andrews is doing an excellent job of beta testing these electronic versions of the forms and finding some bugs and UI tweaks that could be made. Be on the lookout for some updates to the 62.2 spreadsheet...
