Summary

Housing Efficiency Standards Act of 2020 This bill updates energy efficiency requirements for new construction or rehabilitation of certain federally assisted housing, as well as for new construction of manufactured housing.

Additionally, new construction of manufactured housing must comply with standards issued by certain industry bodies or by the Department of Energy.
