Acknowledgments
This
work was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy
under the Building America Program (www.buildingamerica.gov).
The researchers acknowledge the support and encouragement
of our project oversight staff:
George
James and Chris Early
U.S. Department of Energy,
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy,
Building Technologies Program,
Building America Program
Keith

The
data presented here was gathered by the research staff of
the Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP)
and the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing Project.
The
principal researchers responsible for working with manufacturers
to identify the causes of duct leakage and develop improved
assembly and production methods were:, Subrato Chandra (BAIHP
Project Director), Neil Moyer, David Beal, and Dave Chasar.
Supporting these activities were Janet McIlvaine, Armin Rudd,
and Bob Abernethy. Janet McIlvaine spearheaded this report,
aggregating and analyzing test data.
This
body of research, spanning eight years, would have been impossible
without the genuine desire of our industry partners to improve
their products and their willingness to share their experiences
with others. We are pleased to partner with them as they strive
to achieve their goals. Our current list of BAIHP Partners
can be found on our BAIHP website, www.baihp.org,
under “Team
Members.”
