Box 3621 Portla,~d, Oregon 97208 Ir, repfy refer to: PKI January 9, 1984 Dear Customer: Enclosed is Amendment #1 (Amendment) to the Residential Weatherization Conservation Agreement (Agreement). This Amendment is being offered by Bonneville, outside of the amendment process contained in the Agreement, to all Contractors participating in the Residential Program. An explanation of the need for this Amendment is enclosed for your review. If you find the offer acceptable, please fill in the date on page l, and have an appropriate official sign, attest, and date the last page of both copies of the Amendment, and return one copy of the signed Amendment to your servicing BPA Area or District Office. The name and address of your BPA contact is listed in section 15 of the Agreement. Retain the other copy of the signed Amendment for your files. The Amendment will be in effect as of the effective date of the original Agreement. Contractors who do not accept the Amendment at this time will, in all likelihood, see this change as part of any changes to the Weatherization Specifications which will be issued in mid-1984. If you have any questions, please contact Roxane Freeman of this office at (503) 230-3557 or your Area or District Office. Sincerely, David J. Anderson Chief, Contract Negotiation Branch Enclosure EXPLANATION OF NEED Since offering the Long-Term Residential Wea~herization contract, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has become aware of a problem in the specification regarding air-to-air heat exchangers. Specifically, the problem concerns provision lll.410, second paragraph, which prohibits the use of Neat exchangers that transfer water vapor between airstreams within the heat exchanger core. The requirement was included to eliminate the possible transfer of the indoor air pollutant formaldehyde from the exhaust airstream to the intake airstream. Experimental results have shown that with this restricted heat exchanger, indoor formaldehyde is not reduced as much as other pollutants. However, this requirement in our specification restricts from use in the program one of the major ~vpes of air-to-air heat exchanger. This type of exchanger is effective in controlling pollutants other than formaldehyde. Since many of the houses excluded from receiving house tightening measures under the Residential Weatherization Program are excluded for reasons other than a formaldehyde problem (urea-formaldehyde foam), the blanket elimination of this type of heat exchanger does not appear to be warranted. We have discussed this problem with a number of utilities who have indicated an interest and willingness to have the BPA take in~ediate action to correct it. Several have written to us to indicate their willingness to waive their .procedural rights under Exhibit A of the contract to allow BPA to amend the specifications for air-to-air heat exchangers. Therefore, BPA proposes that the specification for air-to-air heat exchangers be amended to allow for installation of heat exchangers that transfer water vapor between airstreams within the heat exchanger core in those houses which do not have urea-formaldehyde foam. Specifically, we propose that the phrase, "if installed in residences with urea-formaldehyde foam insulation or in mobile homes", be added to the last sentence of the second paragraph of provision lll.410. Only those residences which have urea-formaldehyde foam insulation would then be required to have heat exchangers which do not transfer water vapor between airstreams. Because of the problems which the current specification poses for BPA contractors and the willingness of at least some of these contractors to "fast track" this amendment, BPA is offering the attached amendment to ~he air-to-air heat exchanger specification to its contractors for their inmlediate review and approval. We propose that the effective date of this amendment be the effective date of the Residential Weatherization Agreement. For those utilities not wishing to execute this "fast track" amendment, BPA will propose the attached amendment in accordance wth the amendment and contract participation provisions of the contract.
