Choose the "H" button to see a history of all settings for a specific status category for
the current client. Use the Refresh List button on the Status form to insure that any
status changes which may have been made since opening the form are reflected in the

while viewing this form can insure entries are arranged in a desired order (e.g., by
date). See Section 13.3, Status Tracking for additional information on the Status tabs
and changing status settings.
6.3 Energy Index
The energy index tab is used to compute an overall energy index in units of
BTU per heating degree day per square foot as a measure for determining the
potential to save energy by weatherizing a client’s dwelling. The value can be used
to compare dwellings or possibly rank them in relation to their potential benefit from
weatherization. Use of the form is totally optional. Since the form is based on heating
degree days, it is of most use only in heating climates. The Energy Index calculation
on this tab is independent of the detailed energy audit consumption estimates.
