NASEO released a new report to support the Rural Energy Task Force, “Manufactured Housing in Rural America: How States are Supporting Energy Efficient Homes and Reducing Energy Costs for Residents.”
The report summarizes existing federal regulations which pre-empt state and local building codes for manufactured housing, as well as the energy and economic implications of these stagnant codes. Then, the report identifies existing federal resources, and explores state-led efforts to improve the efficiency of existing and new manufactured homes, and to support energy-efficient home building with competitive prices.
