Abstract

Systems-built housing represents a relatively untapped market for residential energy efficiency program efforts. Typical energy efficient new home construction programs may overlook the systems-built housing market because programs do not recognize and address the needs of these manufacturers. In Wisconsin, Focus on Energy’s Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes program has identified ways to make efforts valuable for homebuyers, builders, and manufacturers without significant costs. The program has achieved energy savings, developed valuable relationships with manufacturers and builders, and begun to influence process and technological change in the systems-built housing industry.
