High-performance manufactured homes are built using proven best practices for durability, comfort, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency. The how-to guidance provided here presents practical and effective methods for implementing key details, both inside the factory and in the field.
This guidance was created in collaboration with Northwest Energy Works. Special thanks go to the manufacturing plants that allowed photography and video footage of work processes to be taken during plant operation.
