Have recently 'field tested' the NEAT / MHEA data collection form with the following conclusions;
1. The data-collection form is designed for ease of data entry in the audits and not necessarily for ease of data collection.
2. The shaded portions, MHEA inputs, waste paper, printer ink and make the form navigation more difficult. (If toner is low..., shaded areas aren't distinguishable)
3. Equipment model and serial number data entry fields are too small.
4. The blower door / duct blaster section in 'Ducts/Infiltration' are condensed so that only 'Pre-weatherization' inputs are available. Targets should be included.
5. Comment sections are inadequate.
So, I'm revising the form to address all of the above.
Welcome any feedback from other who may have used this form.
Thanks,
Rick Lucas
