BAIHP Partnership with
Oregon Department of Energy
Salem, OR

In 2003, in light of the revisions to the NEEM specifications, BAIHP staff from the Oregon Department of Energy developed an updated in-plant inspection manual, with new graphics, including details on correct installation of heat recovery ventilation. Many of the manual updates are the result of BAIHP research and demonstration efforts, including use of hybrid floor systems and proper duct sealing with mastic. The manual also now includes a regionally consistent problem home inspection protocol.

In 2004, BAIHP staff from the Oregon Department of Energy developed a PowerPoint presentation, based on the revised In-plant manual. In 2004, BAIHP staff began using this presentation to train QA staff at each plant; this effort will continue until all NEEM plants have received this training.
