The Manufactured Housing Institute reports in its Week in Review that the Environmental Protection Agency recently announced new requirements for qualifying site-built and modular homes for ENERGY STAR, which will go into effect beginning next year.  The Systems Building Research Alliance is in the process of revising the modular program to align with the new national ENERGY STAR requirements. The updated protocols will be issued in the coming weeks. EPA will phase in the new guidelines to help manufacturers and builders transition from the current guidelines to the new guidelines.
