Abstract

Traditionally, residential HVAC programs designed to achieve "Quality Installation" (QI) have used specification-, incentive-, education/training-, and certification-based approaches to influence specific market stakeholders, mainly installers. This paper focuses on these program approaches and suggests expanded program components designed to influence other market players, including salespeople, consumers, and manufacturers. It includes information on a national installation specification, a national consumer-education campaign, two statewide program approaches, and an industry certification effort.
