Nuestro análisis muestra que una norma universal sólida beneficiaría a las casas prefabricadas de todas las regiones, reduciría las elevadas cargas energéticas y evitaría una norma desigual de dos niveles. Analizamos los impactos de la norma escalonada y de normas más estrictas utilizando la metodología del DOE con supuestos actualizados de costes y financiación.

 Manufactured homes are homes that are made in factories and shipped in one or more sections to home sites, where they are placed on foundations. Such homes are an essential source of affordable housing for millions of Americans. We analyze the impacts of the tiered standard and of stronger standards using DOE’s methodology with updated cost and financing assumptions. We find that DOE overestimates the costs and does not fully consider the impacts on affordability for all residents. DOE’s stronger tier would generate about $900 more in net life-cycle cost savings in the average single-section home than would the weaker standard. Additionally, DOE’s proposal excludes efficiency options that would increase residents’ energy savings (and further reduce emissions).
