Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Manufactured Housing (16 pages, in English)

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing a proposed
rule to establish test procedures for manufactured housing (MH). This test procedure
would support standards DOE is directed to establish by the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007. DOE proposes to establish test procedures applicable to
manufactured homes for determining compliance with the following metrics that were
included in a 17 June 2016, notice of proposed rulemaking: The R-value of insulation; the
U-factor of windows, skylights, and doors; the solar heat gain coefficient of fenestration;
U-factor alternatives to R-value requirements; the air leakage rate of air distribution
systems; and mechanical ventilation fan efficacy. DOE will accept comments regarding this
proposed rule.
