Recently,
government agencies and electric industry stakeholders have considered the
effectiveness of whole home replacements for inefficient manufactured homes as
opposed to the more traditional energy-efficiency measures on the existing
homes. In what situations is manufactured home replacement more cost-effective
than other efficiency improvements such as weatherization? This paper provides an update on NRECA’s
prior reports on manufactured home weatherization opportunities, presents
weatherization efforts undertaken by several co-ops, and explores funding
mechanisms that can be used to implement these improvements.
