This information applies to homes built in a factory that are subject to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (commonly referred to as the HUD Code) contained in 24 CFR 3280. Builders and developers of site-built and modular single family homes and multifamily buildings can learn about participation.

Manufactured homes plants must meet the following requirements prior to certifying homes as ENERGY STAR:

  1. Become an ENERGY STAR partner by filling out an ENERGY STAR Partnership Agreement. There is no cost to partner with ENERGY STAR or use ENERGY STAR promotional materials.
    Become a Partner
