Interplay Energy, in partnership with the Residential

simulation to measure applied knowledge and
understanding like a physical field test.
Objectives included:
• Gas line leak detection
• Ambient CO testing
• Unvented appliance testing (ovens and stove top
  burners primarily)
• Proper equipment usage
• Appliance identification
• Combustion appliance Zone (CAZ) understanding
• Worst Case Depressurization
• Vented Appliance (furnace, boilers, water heaters)
  tests: spillage, CO, draft
