Pre- and post-retrofit duct pressurization testing shall be performed at every site by Project Sponsors implementing the duct efficiency measure to verify and record leakage sealed
Work schedules required for Project Sponsors completing duct efficiencyand infiltration measures in Single Family projects
Project Sponsors must provide a work schedule for Multi-Family projectsseven (7) days prior to measure installation
Incentive Reports may no longer be submitted the 1st 15 days of eachmonth
All installations must be submitted on an Incentive Report within 45 days ofthe installation
