INTRODUCTION
Focusing
on balancing cost, design, construction, and energy decisions,
the Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership
(BAIHP) develops customized solutions for manufacturers,
builders, and other team members. Project goals target:
$ Cost-effective, energy-use
reductions (up to 50%) for industrialized housing - while
enhancing indoor air quality, building durability, and construction
productivity.
$ Construction assistance
for thousands of energy efficient industrialized houses
annually (more than 18,000 homes constructed through March
2003).
$ Exemplary leadership
and research, making our partners pleased and proud to be
working with us.
Industrialized
housing includes manufactured housing (built to the HUD
Code), modular housing (factory-built housing modules assembled
onsite), and production housing (site-built housing produced
in a systematic manner). The project scope also includes
portable classrooms.
By
far, manufactured homes make up the biggest segment of the
factory built housing market. Of the 1.8 million homes
built in the US in 2002, nearly 9% were factory built to
US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code. (Please see
Figure 1.) Manufactured homes are one of the most affordable
types of single-family detached housing available anywhere
in the world, generally costing less than $35/ft2
plus land costs for centrally air conditioned and heated
homes with built-in kitchens. Available in all parts of
the country, manufactured homes are more popular in rural
areas and in the southern and western US where land is still
plentiful.
In
1999, BAIHP was established as a result of a competitive
procurement by the US Department of Energy. DOE funding
for the project is supplemented by cost share funding from
the Florida Energy Office of the Department of Environmental
Protection, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, Florida
Solar Energy Center (FSEC), and industry partners. FSEC
of the University of Central Florida (UCF), serves as the
project prime contractor. Funded collaborators include
the UCF Industrial Engineering Department, the Washington
State University Energy Program, the American Lung Associations
of Central Florida and Washington, Blue Sky Foundation of
North Carolina, D.R. Wastchak, GreenSmart Inc., North Carolina
A&T University, the Oregon Office of Energy, the Idaho
Department of Water Resources, the Florida Home Energy and
Resources Organization, and Alten Design.
Many
manufacturers, builders, suppliers, and research and technology
transfer organizations have joined the Building America
Industrialized Housing Partnership. The project period
is September 1, 1999 through March 31, 2005. This report
describes, by task areas, progress made through the fourth
budget period from April1, 2002 through March 31, 2003.
For comprehensiveness, prior work also is summarized as
appropriate.
