DELI 1
Performance Improvements in Factory Built
Housing
Over the past
decade significant energy performance improvements have been realized in modular, panelized components, and
HUD-code factory built housing. Employing a systems engineering approach for whole-house building solutions, utilizing precision construction methods in a
controlled environment, and adhering to total quality management principals have resulted in factory built homes with enhanced thermal and moisture
performance. This session will expand on progress made in advanced design and construction practices that transform into tight framing construction, improved
insulation, high performance windows, tight ducting, and energy efficient HVAC systems assembled in the factory. Understanding and controlling interactions
between assembly, the building leaving the factory, and/or setting the home at the jobsite and its occupants is critical.
By attending this session, participants
will
1. Better understand factory built housing design, construction, set-up, and
codes
2. Learn approaches to control heat, air, and moisture movement and how
these approaches have reduced performance problems
3. Value the benefits
of building a home utilizing controlled construction practices
4. Learn how a factory built home improves compliance to ENERGY STAR® and Green Built certification
