  1. NASCSPFall 2013 NM’s Approach to the SWS Implementation Project

  2. Outline • The Challenge • New Mexico’s plan • New Mexico’s ongoing process • Next Steps

  3. The Challenge • 100% work done correctly, 100% of the time.

  4. The Challenge • NM Energy$mart Technical Standards contain work standards, audit process, final inspection process and policy. • At this time this document is being separated.

  5. The Challenge • Crosswalk: Elements of our standards contained minor variations that will require updating.

  6. The Challenge • Crosswalk: Elements of our standards contained minor variations that will require updating.

  7. The Challenge • Our Standards contain too much information!

  8. Reality! • The field guide approach has not yielded 100% success rate for weatherization network.

  9. The Plan • Therefore, NM is pursuing an innovative approach to operationalize the SWS—aligning service provider work flow, SWS and QCI.

  10. The Plan • The maze is the complexity of the crosswalk. • Our approach avoids that complexity entirely.

  11. The Plan • The SWS online tool will be the backbone of our “Deck of Cards” approach weatherization work: • For each job, the crew chief and final inspector will only receive the SWS required for the job’spackage of measures. • Crews, auditors and inspectors will have a tablet with SWS for field reference.

  12. The Deck of Cards Duct Sealing Chase Capping Crawl Space Air Sealing Each card contains the SWS information and a visual aid.

  13. The Process • The NME$ Technical Committee is currently pilot testing the SWS & Deck of Cards.

  14. The Process • First, each agency TC representative converted the same NEAT audit into an SWS work order.

  15. The Process • Second, the TC reviewed each agency’s SWS conversion and discussed the differences.

  16. The Process • Third, each agency developed 1 or 2 NEAT SWS work orders on their own production units.

  17. The Process • Fourth, each agency will report back to the TC on how they believe the project went. • We will adjust the process and repeat.

  18. The Process • Fifth, in October at a statewide meeting, service provider staff will be introduced to receive access to the Deck of Cards.

  19. The Process • Sixth, MFA staff will monitor service providers in October, November and December.

  20. The Process • Seventh, SWS compliance will be phased in beginning January 1, 2014.

  21. Next Steps • From an organizational change perspective, this shift requires better education of Grantees and Subgrantee staffin order to succeed.

  22. Next Steps • NM is talking with DOE about expanding this project to include other states that do not have the resources or the inclination to cross walk an existing field guide with the SWS.

  23. Next Steps • NM is looking for other grantees willing to partner with us and help push the program toward the goal of 100% right, 100% of the time.
