The Affordable HOMES Act would make the Department of Energy’s 2022 energy conservation rule for manufactured housing have no force or effect. It would let the Energy Secretary recommend changes to energy standards to the Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Recommendations would consider costs over time, effects on home purchase prices, factory construction limits, climate zones, alternative methods, and payback periods.
The bill would remove the 2022 rule. It would set criteria for any future recommendations on manufactured-home energy standards. The text does not say how home prices or energy use would change.
The bill does not specify a spending amount or funding source.
