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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
