fan efficacy; and heating and cooling 

equipment sizing. 

Under the energy conservation 

standards, the stringency of the 

requirements under subpart B will 

depend on the size of the manufactured 

home for the tiered approach. 

Accordingly, two sets of standards will 

be established in subpart B (i.e., Tier 1 

and Tier 2). Tier 1 will apply to singlesection manufactured homes and will 

incorporate building thermal envelope 

measures based on certain thermal 

envelope components subject to the 

2021 IECC, but only including 

components that would increase the 

incremental purchase price by less than 

$750. Tier 2 will apply to multi-section 

manufactured homes and incorporate 

building thermal envelope measures 

based on certain thermal envelope 

components and specifications of the 

2021 IECC, with alternate exterior wall 

insulation requirements for climate 

zones 2 and 3, as presented in the 

August 2021 SNOPR and the October 

2021 NODA and analyzed in the final 

EIS. Further, the energy conservation 

standards for both tiers also include 

duct and air sealing, insulation 

installation, HVAC and service hot 

water system specifications, mechanical 

ventilation fan efficacy, and heating and 

cooling equipment sizing provisions, 

based on the 2021 IECC. DOE will adopt 

a compliance date such that the 

standards will apply to manufactured 

homes starting one year after the 

publication date of the final rule in the 

Federal Register. 

DOE notes that its decision to adopt 

Alternative B2 differs from the preferred 

alternative presented in the final EIS 

(Alternative C2). DOE decided to adopt 

Alternative B2 because of affordability 

and cost-effectiveness concerns 

identified in the consultation process 

and during the rulemaking process. 

Following the issuance of the final EIS, 

DOE continued to consider comments 

received on the rulemaking and in the 

interagency review process under 

Executive Order 12866, which included 

the aforementioned concerns regarding 

first-costs, affordability, and costeffectiveness. DOE believes that access 

to affordable housing and reducing 

energy burdens of low-income 

purchasers are of the utmost importance 

in the manufactured housing market. 

Alternative B2 better addresses both of 

these concerns than Alternative C2 

because it will ensure continued 

availability for the homes most often 

purchased by low-income purchasers 

(single-section homes) with little change 

to the current manufactured housing 

market, while providing energy cost 

savings in the nearer term for residents 

of these homes. A more detailed 

explanation of DOE’s bases for adopting 

Alternative B2 will be provided in the 

final rule and its Technical Support 

Document in the rulemaking docket. 

The docket, and all documents 

contained therein, may be found at 

www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EERE2009-BT-BC-0021. 

Mitigation 

The analyses presented in the final 

EIS identify both beneficial and adverse 

impacts to indoor air quality, health, 

socioeconomic conditions, 

environmental justice, and cumulative 

effects of DOE’s proposed action 

alternatives. The final EIS describes 

measures that could mitigate potential 

adverse impacts. To address adverse 

impacts to indoor air quality, health, 

socioeconomics, and environmental 

justice, the final EIS identifies the 

following mitigation measures: 

• Promoting installation of energyefficient fans for ventilation, 

• Advancing research and 

stakeholder engagement to increase 

implementation of energy-efficient 

ventilation, 

• Promoting training and technical 

assistance to manufacturers, and 

• Promoting improved indoor air 

quality and environmental justice 

through efficiency labeling and 

informational resources about healthy 

homes and financing options. 

The final EIS identifies that DOE 

could further address adverse impacts to 

socioeconomics and environmental 

justice by promoting financial 

mechanisms to offset first costs through 

incentives, assistance, and 

informational resources. Also, the final 

EIS identifies that DOE could promote 

awareness of DOE’s energy justice 

initiative to address impacts to 

environmental justice. 

Along with DOE’s decision to 

implement energy conservation 

standards for manufactured housing, 

DOE will: 

• Collaborate with HUD to promote 

efficient ventilation, including wholehouse ventilation and exhaust fan 

techniques. 

• Advance research and stakeholder 

engagement on energy-efficient heating, 

ventilating, and air-conditioning 

solutions for modular housing. 

• Leverage existing funded research 

projects to provide training and 

technical assistance to manufactured 

housing manufacturers intended to help 

manufacturers achieve the energy 

conservation standards in the most costefficient manner. 

• Develop and implement 

informational campaigns to promote 

improved indoor air quality and 

environmental justice—specifically to 

aid potential buyers in identifying and 

comparing energy efficiency between 

homes. 

• Collaborate with the Manufactured 

Housing Task Force to address market 

barriers to energy-efficient 

manufactured housing as an affordable, 

equitable, and accessible housing 

option, including better consumer 

education around how energy-efficient 

manufactured homes are financed. 

• Coordinate with DOE’s Office of 

Economic Impact and Diversity to 

promote partnerships that enhance 

community awareness and engagement 

in advancing energy justice concepts for 

manufactured housing. 

DOE has committed to all practicable 

means to avoid or minimize 

environmental harm.
