  14. QualityControl

  15. PRESERVING QUALITY CONTROL • Review Your Policy and Procedures • Control Training –consider a training entity to coordinate • Consider Certification • Review staffing needs at state and agency level • Realize that “everybody is an weatherization expert” • Big money, big politics • Effect on the market-cost of training, cost of materials, etc. • Will you add agencies for delivery..what is that process? • Advertising and outreach-it has to allow equitable access • Field monitoring…what happens when it is not right 50 homes later? • MANAGING EXPECTATIONS from lawmakers to clients

  16. CONSIDERATIONS FOR DOE RAMP UP • INCREASE AVERAGE COST PER UNIT • PRESERVE T AND TA • REWEATHERIZATION DATE • RAISE THE INCOME LEVELS • CONSIDER THE MEDIAN INCOME AS DETERMINED BY HUD • EXPAND AUTOMATIC QUALIFIERS • SECTION 8 HUD /202/811-50% MEDIAN AND BELOW • SUFFICIENT STAFFING AT DOE LEVEL • POSSIBLE OUTREACH AT DOE LEVEL
