The Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP)
Abstract
The Building America Industrialized Housing
Partnership (BAIHP) is one of five competitively
selected U.S. DOE Building America teams and
began work on 9/1/99. BAIHP focuses on improving
the energy efficiency, durability and indoor air
quality in manufactured homes. Team members,
Cavalier Homes, Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor
Homes, Southern Energy Homes, and manufacturers
in the Super Good Cents/Natural Choice program
produce over 100,000 manufactured homes/yr
currently.
In addition, the BAIHP team provides technical
assistance to about 30 site builders and modular
home manufacturers including Habitat for Humanity
affiliates throughout the nation.
BAIHP is also charged with enhancing the energy
efficiency and learning environment in portable
classrooms in the northwestern states of WA, OR and
ID.
This paper summarizes the multifaceted work
being performed by BAIHP and provides specific
data on 310 homes constructed in the Gainesville FL
area with technical assistance from Florida Home
Energy and Resources Organization. The paper also
summarizes typical causes and cures for moisture
problems in manufactured homes.
