Evidence log
- 2026-09-18 — Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing: cross-connection with doe-manufactured-housing-energy-standards: DOE and HUD run parallel manufactured-housing standards regimes; with DOE’s 2022 rule voided, HUD’s Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards remain the operative federal framework. (novelty: 3)
- 2026-01-12 — Affordable HOMES Act: Affordable HOMES Act (HR5184) introduced to rescind DOE’s May 31, 2022 manufactured housing energy conservation standards, strip DOE of rulemaking authority in this domain, and limit DOE to cost-effectiveness-based advisory recommendations to HUD — affecting builders (lower compliance costs, reversion to HUD standards), buyers (potentially lower upfront prices but higher lifetime energy costs), and renters of manufactured homes (utility cost exposure).
