Presenting the Program
Energy Efficiency and Healthy Housing
Important
Instructor Notes
To present a 3060 minute
lesson
1. Remember to use activities, demonstrations of materials, and videos for a
variety of teaching tools and do not be too dependent on the PowerPoint
slides.
2. Encourage participation and questions by the participants throughout the
presentation. Be interactive with your learners.
3. Provide personal stories when possible. People may remember better
when personal stories are shared either by you or by the other
participants.
4. 4. Good visuals will provide guided practice for the learning objectives of
the lesson. Activities and demonstration materials can reinforce learning.
5. The adult learner brings a background of learning and experience that
contributes to learning. Many participants will have experienced some of
these energy and healthy home concerns in their own home.
6. The purpose of this information is to empower people with knowledge so
they will adopt healthy behaviors and to offer practical, low-cost action
steps to solve problems.
7. Emphasize the vulnerability of children for environmental health concerns.
While the items in the list are hazards for all age groups, children are
especially susceptible to these dangers. These are important concepts to
remember, because:
a. Children are not just little adults. Their organs (especially the brain)
and immune system are still developing, especially until about age 6.
Their metabolic rates are faster. Pound-per-pound children drink, eat
and breathe more than adults.
b. Children’s behaviors keep them closer to the floor – where pollutants
may collect.
If time does not allow for a 90-120 minute presentation, address the
major points of energy efficient improvements and possible hazards. To
shorten the lesson, presenters may wish to follow the following slide
order :
Slides 1-2, 5-6,8, 12-13, 16, 21-28, 30-32, 35-39, 41-43, 45, 47,49, 51
This sequence of slides will allow presenters to address the major
objectives of the lesson. As time allows, the presenter can provide
greater depth related to each specific hazard.

Say: Some common areas (in most homes) where
you can make changes to improve efficiency
include:
- areas with air leakage (around windows,
doors, etc.)
- insulation (places in your home my need
additional amounts)
- heating and cooling equipment
(maintaining and operating efficiently)
- duct work (often very leaky)
- lighting choices may not be efficient
Discuss:
If you add up the all of the leaks in an average
home, it amounts to leaving a window wide open

minutes
Discuss the purpose of insulation –
The purpose of insulation is to slow heat transfer.
It works like a jacket – keeping the warmth in the
house longer during cold months, and keeping
the warmth out of the house longer during the
summer months.
How much insulation your home needs depends
on where you live.

Duct
leakage
2
When examining duct work:
 Check for air leakage
 Look for separated sections
 Look for obvious holes, tears in the duct
work
 Seal duct work with mastic, not duct tape
Slide 22-23
If you have concerns about duct leakage, it may
be best to have a professional inspect and seal.
Heating and
Cooling
Equipment
2
 Keep heating and cooling equipment in
good working order
 Have your unit professionally serviced at
least once a year.
 Clean and replace filters regularly
 Clean registers
 Keep supply and return clear, and keep
supply vents open
Slide 24-25
Ventilating
fans
2
 Use ventilating fans (vented to the
outdoors) to remove moisture when
bathing in the bathroom
 Use exhaust fans (vented to the outdoors)
when cooking over a gas oven
 When moisture dissipates and you are
finished cooking, remember to turn off the
fan
Slide 25
Lighting
2
LED and CFL bulbs can save you money on
lighting. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
are 75% more efficient and last ten times longer
than older incandescent bulbs. LED’s are about
75-80% more efficient and last up to 25 times
longer than older incandescent bulbs.

Moisture
2
Whenever weatherization improvements are
Slide 28
made it is essential to consider the impact of that
improvement on moisture. Moisture is created
in a number of ways in the home. Through
everyday activities such as bathing, breathing,
washing dishes and mopping floors. Improperly
vented combustion appliances can also add
moisture to the home.
(Note to instructor: there are many other
potential sources of moisture, i.e. improper
drainage, however they will not be covered in
this module because they do not related to
energy efficient improvements. You may want to
revisit the moisture module and remind
participants of the principles learned there.)
Moisture
4
Sealing a home and not properly considering
ventilation can result in moisture-laden air
remaining in the home. This then, may result in
excess moisture and mold growth.
Slides 29-30
When we discussed insulation, we talked about
the importance of making certain that there are
no gaps or voids and that it touches the air
barrier. This is what can happen if it is installed
incorrectly. Here is mold growing on a ceiling
that is chilled by wind blowing through the soffit
across un-insulated drywall. The second picture
shows mold around a window where there is
poor insulation.
Radon
1
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It
is produced by the normal breakdown of
uranium in the soil. As the radon breaks down, it
produces radioactive particles. If you breathe in
these small particles.
Radon gas the second leading cause of lung
cancer and needs to be considered when
improving your home for energy efficiency.

Slide 32
Radon enters your home through cracks in the
building materials, such as concrete blocks, floor
drains, and other open holes. Forces such as
exhaust fans, gas heaters, and wooden stoves
help draw radon into the home.
Slides 33-34
Radon can be found all over the country, but
certain parts of the country tend to have higher
levels. Radon levels can vary from place to place,
even in two similar houses side by side.
Slides 35-36
The only way to determine if you have radon is
through testing. There are long term tests and
short term tests.
EPA radon
information
After making energy efficient improvements, retest your home for radon.
 Air sealing and weatherization may cause
changes in radon levels.
 If you find your levels are high after testing,
use radon mitigation techniques.
Combustion
By-Products

Carbon
Monoxide

Slide 37
As your tighten up your home, you will also need
to be concerned on the effect it may have on
venting combustion gases. It essential that all
combustion appliances are ventilated properly so
that by-products leave the home and don’t affect
your family’s health.
Slide 38
Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the
combustion process it is an odorless, colorless
gas that can make your family very sick.
Carbon monoxide poisoning mimics flu like
symptoms – at high levels it can cause death.
11
Carbon
Monoxide
Alarms
2
To guard against carbon monoxide poisoning,
install a carbon monoxide near the sleeping area,
where it can wake you if you are asleep.
Additional detectors on every level and in every
bedroom of a home provides extra protection.
Do not install carbon monoxide detectors directly
above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as
appliances may emit a small amount of carbon
monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not
be placed within fifteen feet of heating or
cooking appliances or in or near very humid
areas such as bathrooms.
Discuss the standards for a carbon monoxide
alarm.

Slide 39-40
Lead
Who is at
risk?
3
- Lead is a concern in homes built prior to 1978
- The chemical properties of lead are similar to
the properties of calcium, a necessary nutrient,
and is therefore readily absorbed by the human
body.
- Those who lack calcium and iron in their diets
absorb more lead.
- Children and pregnant women absorb up to
50% of the lead they ingest or inhale.
- The rest of the population absorbs 10 – 15% of
ingested or inhaled lead.
- Since children have a much smaller body mass,
similar exposures between a child and an adult
yield a much higher dose in a child.
While some groups are more vulnerable to lead,
it can harm everyone! The concern is when lead
is inhaled or ingested and the health effects are
serious.
Lead affects the health of Children
 Brain damage
 Decreased IQ
 Lifelong learning and behavior problems
 Slowed growth
 Hearing loss
It also affects Adults
 High blood pressure
 Fatigue
 Reproductive problems
 Loss of sex drive
13
Slide 41-42
Lead safe
practices
3
Before making improvements in a pre-1978
home, check for lead paint. If lead is present,
before making improvements and disturbing
paint, it is essential to use lead safe work
practices. The RRP rule addresses lead-based
paint hazards created by renovation, repair and
painting activities that disturb lead-based paint.
The RRP rule requires that lead safe work
practices are used in homes where lead paint is
present, unless:
Interior work disturbing less than 6 square feet (6
ft2) per room of painted surface Cleanup and
cleaning verification are not required after minor
repair and maintenance activities, unless they
involve window replacement, demolition, or
prohibited practices.
Exterior work disturbing less than 20 square feet
(20 ft2) per side of painted surface Cleanup and
cleaning verification are not required after minor
repair and maintenance activities, unless they
involve window replacement, demolition, or
prohibited practices.

Asbestos
3
Another concern when making home energy
improvements is asbestos.
Asbestos is a name given to a group of naturally
occurring fibrous minerals. You can see the
fibrous character of asbestos in this background
picture. Asbestos minerals are made up of chains
or layers of hydrated silicates with various
building block elements of calcium, sodium,
potassium, magnesium, aluminum, and iron. The
unique properties of asbestos allowed it to be
added to over 3000 different products, some of
which are still made today and available
commercially. Asbestos is a mined resource. The
negative side of asbestos are its health effects,
and the illnesses caused by asbestos exposure.
These illnesses are what caused asbestos to be
regulated. EPA and OSHA began regulating
asbestos in the 1970s.
Asbestos is a concern whenever you may be
disturbing building components. Asbestos fibers
can be inhaled or ingested. Exposure to asbestos
can cause illness such as pleural plaques,
asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer,
gastrointestinal illness, etc., and that’s why we
regulate this stuff. Asbestosis is a scarring of lung
tissue which hampers the transfer of oxygen and
carbon dioxide to/from the lungs and
bloodstream. Many asbestotic victims die of
pulmonary or cardiac failure due to increased
breathing difficulty. Mesothelioma is a cancer of
the lining of the lung and abdomen. Smoking
increases risk because smoking reduces the
lung’s ability to rid itself of inhaled particulate.
Exposure to asbestos doesn’t cause pain, it
doesn’t have warning properties, and since the
latency period is relatively long, there’s no sense
of urgency to think it can cause illness
15
Slide 44-46
Asbestos
In your
home
5
There are a number of places asbestos may be
found in your home.
Asbestos has a number of beneficial qualities. As
a result, asbestos fibers were added to almost
every product except wood, glass, and metal.
Over the centuries, people have woven asbestos
cloaks, tablecloths, theatre curtains and flameproof suits for protection against fire. Asbestos
insulation not only conserved energy but also
protected workers from injuries, i.e. burns.
Brake shoes and clutch facings improved vehicle
safety, and asbestos fireproofing allowed us to
build tall buildings. Peak use of asbestos in
America was in the 1940s-1970s. Asbestos was
used in hospital ventilators, cigarette butts,
filters for our favorite beverages, etc. Humans
recognized its benefits and put it to use.
Before disturbing any building components in the
weatherization process, it is essential to evaluate
whether or not asbestos is present.
16
Slide 47
Here are some dos and don’ts regarding
asbestos:
 DO have removal and major repair done by
people who are trained, qualified, and
equipped to handle asbestos. We highly
recommend that minor repair and taking
samples to test for asbestos also be done by
asbestos professionals.
 DON'T remove materials that may contain
asbestos without proper personal protective
equipment and environmental controls. If
materials that may contain asbestos are
damaged by flooding, leave them in place
until they can be removed by trained
asbestos professionals.
 DON'T dust, sweep, or vacuum debris that
may contain asbestos.
 DON'T saw, sand, scrape, or drill holes in
asbestos materials.
 DON'T use abrasive pads or brushes on
power strippers to strip wax from asbestos
flooring. Never use a power stripper on a dry
floor.
 DON'T sand or try to level asbestos flooring
or its backing. When asbestos flooring needs
replacing, install new floor covering over it, if
possible.
 DON'T track material that could contain
asbestos through the house. If you cannot
avoid walking through the area, have it
cleaned with a wet mop. If the material is
from a damaged area, or if a large area must
be cleaned, call an asbestos professional.
 DO keep activities to a minimum in any
areas, such as crawl spaces or attics, having
damaged material that may contain
asbestos.
 DO take every precaution to avoid damaging
asbestos or materials that may contain
asbestos.

According to the EPA, these are the steps you
should follow when cleaning up a broken CFL:
Before Cleanup
 Have people and pets leave the room.
 Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by
opening a window or door to the outdoor
environment.
 Shut off the central forced air heating/airconditioning system, if you have one.
 Collect materials needed to clean up
broken bulb:
o stiff paper or cardboard;
o sticky tape;
o damp paper towels or disposable
wet wipes (for hard surfaces); and
o a glass jar with a metal lid or a
sealable plastic bag.
Slide 50
18
During Cleanup
 DO NOT VACUUM. Vacuuming is not
recommended unless broken glass
remains after all other cleanup steps have
been taken. Vacuuming could spread
mercury-containing powder or mercury
vapor.
 Be thorough in collecting broken glass
and visible powder. Scoop up glass
fragments and powder using stiff paper or
cardboard. Use sticky tape, such as duct
tape, to pick up any remaining small glass
fragments and powder. Place the used
tape in the glass jar or plastic bag. See
the detailed cleanup instructions for more
information, and for differences in
cleaning up hard surfaces versus
carpeting or rugs.
 Place cleanup materials in a sealable
container.
After Cleanup
 Promptly place all bulb debris and
cleanup materials, including vacuum
cleaner bags, outdoors in a trash
container or protected area until
materials can be disposed of. Avoid
leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup
materials indoors.
 Next, check with your local government
about disposal requirements in your area,
because some localities require
fluorescent bulbs (broken or unbroken)
be taken to a local recycling center. If
there is no such requirement in your area,
you can dispose of the materials with
your household trash.
 If practical, continue to air out the room
where the bulb was broken and leave the
heating/air conditioning system shut off
for several hours.
 Promptly place all bulb debris and
cleanup materials, including vacuum
cleaner bags, outdoors in a trash
container or 19
protected area until
materials can be disposed of. Avoid
leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup
materials indoors.
