In the residential building sector, energy-efficient standards for new construction, called Model Conservation Standards (MCS), have been proposed; and demonstration projects are under way to implement MCS features and to explore new conservation possibilities. Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) administers a Pacific Northwest program to promote the construction and marketing of energy-efficient site-built homes. This program, Super Good Cents (SGC), pays incentives for new buildings that meet the MCS energy-efficiency levels. Starting in late 1987, Bonneville began a research and demonstration project to include HUD-code manufactured homes (homes built under the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's standards) in the SGC program. Under Bonneville's ongoing residential Construction and Demonstration Project (RCDP), the region's manufacturers were invited to construct 150 manufactured homes meeting the SGC requirements for site-built homes (modified for manufactured home practices). Manufacturers received incentives to construct the homes and agreed to provide Bonneville cost data and other information related to their participation in the project. The goals of the RCDP for manufactured housing are to provide manufacturers and their dealers with technical assistance in producing and selling homes that will qualify as SGC homes, to collect information on the cost-effectiveness and improved thermal performance of manufactured homes, and to develop a process to qualify and certify manufactured homes for the SGC program. 2 refs. , 12 tabs.
