摘 要：In 2009, Nevada received nearly $40 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of this funding was to stabilize communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. In an effort to provide guidance to local officials and maximize how effectively this Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding is used in retrofitting homes, the Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings (CARB) provided design specifications, energy modeling, and technical support for the Building America Retrofit Alliance (BARA) team and its local partners--Better Building Performance, Nevada ENERGY STAR Partners Green Alliance, and Home Free Nevada--for two retrofit test homes. One home was to demonstrate a modest retrofit and the other a deep energy retrofit. The Carmen and Sierra Hills homes demonstrate how cost effectively energy-efficient upgrades can be implemented in the hot, dry Southwest climate. The homes were used as an educational experience for home performance professionals, building trades, remodelers, and the public. In-field trainings on air sealing, HVAC upgrades, and insulating were provided to local contractors during the retrofit. BARA documented these retrofits through a series of video presentations, beginning with a site survey and concluding with the finished remodel and test out.
