  SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or "the Department") is publishing a final rule to 
establish energy conservation standards for manufactured housing pursuant to the Energy 
Independence and Security Act of 2007. This document presents standards based on the 2021 
version of the International Energy Conservation Code ("IECC") and comments received during 
interagency consultation w ith the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as 
from stakeholders. The adopted standards would provide a set of "tiered" standards based on size 
that would apply the 2021 IECC -based standards to manufactured homes, except that single -section 
manufactured homes would be subject to less stringent building thermal envelope requirements 
compared to multi -section manufactured homes.  
DATES: The effective date of this rule is 1 August 2022. Compliance with the adopted standards 
established for  manufactured housing in this final rule is required on and after 31 May 2023. The 
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this rule is approved by the Director of 
the Federal Register on 1 August 2022.  
This final rule and previous act ions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/521  are identified by 
Docket Number EERE -2009-BT-BC-0021. The Docket Folder is available from Regulations.gov at
