  2. SWS into State Field Standards Does your State have a Field Guide? Is it State-specific or Regional? Is your Field Guide current?

  3. SWS into State Field Standards The SWS is a clear definition of the expectations of DOE Standards are in place. Grantees must implement these standards States must define the inspection process and the protocols they will implement Day One Program Year 2014, all units must meet SWS specifications

  4. Indiana Experience Developed a Field Guide in 2003 Field Guide was updated in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, & 2013 Wx Technical Committee provides Field Guide maintenance Technical Committee consists of State Monitor, Trainers, Auditors & Inspectors, Building & Heating Technicians

  5. Indiana Experience Indiana’s Field Guide was designed to describe the task to be performed, state the Standard, and then illustrate the Procedure All Wx Program forms were inserted in the Field Guide along with any material & workmanship specifications INCAA Trainers use Field Guide in all courses State Monitors reference Field Guide in all monitoring findings & concerns

  6. Incorporating SWS into Field Guide SWS sections include H/S, Air Sealing, Insulation, Heating/Cooling, Ventilation & Baseload Indiana Field Guide sections are Building Model, Health/Safety, Heating Systems, Air Sealing & Insulation Crosswalk begins by identifying what measures Indiana performs Crosswalk assignments made by trainer expertise

  7. Initial Plans Start with SWS On-line tool that allows us to identify measures specific to Indiana’s program Concentrate on the measures & tasks we perform every day Identify the SWS & Indiana Field Guide inconsistencies Technical Committee processes inconsistencies

  8. Challenges When cross-walk is complete, Indiana must determine the format appropriate for use Trainings specific to the Field Guide changes must occur prior to April 1, 2014 (SATT) Starting April 1, 2014, SWS fully integrated in training, monitoring & field operations Identify and remedy Wx network issues before monitoring begins

  9. Outcomes Reasonable fit with the SWS Keep it Simple QCI Protocol consistent with monitoring All QCI certified by April, 2013 Identify network challenges Provide technical assistance accordingly
