While the fundamental rules and procedures for implementing a single-family building energy code field study are found in the Single-Family Building Energy Code Field Study – Data Collection and Analysis Methodology, this toolkit contains additional resources and sample documents to assist project teams with implementing field studies. The toolkit builds off of more than a decade of DOE, PNNL, and project team experience to give future project teams a head start and help them overcome practical challenges.
The tookit is available for download, either as a complete set or as individual files and contains stakeholder kickoff meeting guide, agenda, presentation template, and materials; supplemental data Sources for home population generation and recruitment; sample recruitment materials; a photo-documentation checklist; a field study data quality assurance checklist for project teams; a printable data collection form and information on how to complete the data collection form.
