Guidelines for Plants

To be certified to produce manufactured homes that, upon completion of the site inspection process, earn the ENERGY STAR label, a plant must undergo certification and periodic review processes under the oversight of an EPA-approved Quality Assurance Provider (QAP). The plant certification process includes utilizing home designs that meet ENERGY STAR design guidelines. Once certified, a plant must follow the QAP’s guidelines for ongoing production, installation, and certification of homes to maintain its plant certification. The plant certification process described in the pages below is administered by the Systems Building Research Alliance (SBRA) an EPA-approved national QAP.
