Abstract

This report presents the findings from a study that was performed to assess whether current precautionary measures used by the US Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) are effective for preventing indoor radon increases following weatherization. The study results show that current practices have produced substantial benefit compared to previous practices, and that there are no statistically significant changes in indoor radon levels on the lowest living levels with these practices following weatherization.
