Manufactured Homes

Manufactured homes are one of the most abundant forms of naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) options, particularly in rural areas. However, residents often pay three times as much on their utility bills than residents of traditional housing. Energy efficiency programs can often feel inaccessible because the already high energy costs are overwhelming—but the health and financial impacts of staying in an inefficient manufactured home, perhaps without proper HVAC, demands solutions.

Retrofitting a manufactured home requires specific strategies that utility program managers may not understand; our team of technical experts, building science specialists, and trainers help fill in gaps in understanding to design the right solutions for the needs of the people and the home they live in. We can help you implement the right solutions for your market and the barriers you've seen.
