SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

EERE through the National Renewable 

Energy Laboratory is developing 

voluntary work specifications for the 

work involved in home energy 

upgrades. This content builds upon the 

considerable body of material already in 

circulation and the cumulative 

knowledge gathered throughout the 30- 

year history of the Weatherization 

Assistance Program (WAP) and broader 

home performance industry. 

The development of the SWS is 

supported by the WAP Training and 

Technical Assistance Plan (T&TA). The 

process of developing the SWS has 

involved participation by numerous 

stakeholders, including WAP 

practitioners and trainers, home 

performance contractors, building 

scientists, organized labor, healthy 

homes and worker safety experts, and 

other professionals in the building 

trades and throughout the retrofit 

industry. On November 9, 2010, EERE
