Affordable HOMES Act

What this bill does

  • The bill eliminates federal energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing that the Department of Energy created in 2022.
  • Manufactured home builders and buyers are affected by the removal of these efficiency requirements.
  • The Department of Energy can only advise on future standards, which must be approved by HUD and proven cost-effective.

  1. 01

    How would eliminating the 2022 energy efficiency standards affect the long-term utility costs for manufactured home buyers compared to builders' compliance expenses?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that the DOE's 2022 standards were or weren't cost-effective for manufacturers, and who bears the burden of that determination?

  3. 03

    If efficiency standards are removed now, what process should govern whether new standards can be adopted in the future?
