Manufactured Housing Thermal Requirements

The Rural Housing Service (RHS), a part of the former Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), and now part of the Rural Development Mission Area of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, proposes to amend its regulations regarding the thermal requirements for manufactured homes. The intended effect is to make the references to thermal requirements for manufactured homes consistent with requirements for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) zones that correspond to the RHS climatic zones. Since HUD increased its energy requirements for manufactured homes, RHS has compared these new requirements with the RHS thermal requirements. Our analysis indicates that the thermal performance of a unit built to the HUD requirements is roughly comparable to the thermal performance of a unit built to the requirements of the RHS climatic zones. This will reduce the burden on the manufactured housing industry, RHS field personnel, and most importantly RHS customers.
