Draft ENERGY STAR®
Protocol for Modular Homes
Modular housing is an important and growing segment of the residential
market, and ENERGY STAR® is a valuable marketing tool for modular
builders. However, many modular builders have found the current
procedures for qualifying homes for the ENERGY STAR label expensive
and difficult to complete.
In order to encourage more modular companies to embrace ENERGY
STAR, MHRA, working under an agreement with the US EPA, has developed
an alternative compliance protocol. The protocol was designed to
work with the modular building process, streamlining and simplifying
the steps to qualify for the ENERGY STAR label. In developing the
new protocol, MHRA worked closely with modular builders, experts
in the energy field and other ENERGY STAR program stakeholders.
A draft of the alternative compliance process is available for
review and comment. The deadline for comments is December 31,
2007. The alternative process will be launched in early 2008.
