Manufactured Home Design
Like the traditional site-built homes, new manufactured homes can be designed for energy efficiency and use renewable energy systems. You can also remodel or retrofit an older manufactured home to improve its energy efficiency and/or use renewable energy.

Manufactured homes are those built entirely in a factory. They are then transported to a building site and installed. Manufactured homes include:

• Modular Homes
Modules are transported to the site and installed.

• Panelized Homes
Panels—a whole wall with windows, doors, wiring and outside siding—are transported to the site and assembled.

• Pre-Cut Homes
Building materials are factory-cut to design specifications, transported to the site, and then assembled. Pre-cut homes include kit, dome, and log homes.

• Mobile Homes
This is the term used for factory-built homes produced prior to when the HUD Code went into effect.

Here you can learn more about the following:

• Manufactured Home HUD Code Requirements
Requirements, including energy efficiency standards, new manufactured homes must meet.

• Manufactured Home Energy-Efficient Retrofit Measures
Suggested energy efficiency improvements for manufactured homes, especially for those built prior to the 1976 HUD Code.

• Manufactured Home Renewable Energy Applications
Considerations for using renewable energy systems to provide heating, cooling, and electricity for manufactured homes.
