Top Six Weatherization Improvements:

Air sealing Attic insulation Side wall insulation Basement insulation Doors and windows Mechanicals and appliances UPGRADES

Page 9: Putting Houses on the Path to Lower Energy Consumption. Awareness and Long term planning helps to maximize energy opportunities.

Further Efficiency Upgrade Opportunities:

• Below slab insulation in basement• Foundation insulation (in and or outside)• Enclosure improvements (in and or outside)• Better windows and doors• Roofing and attic improvements• Mechanical upgrades– Plumbing, HVAC, and Electric

• Occupant behavior

•Naturally occurring radioactive, odorless gas

•Second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.

•Indoor airPLUS specs and EPA website detail radon-resistant construction.
