## Summary

**Shifts control of manufactured-housing energy standards from the Department of Energy to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.** This bill would void DOE's 2022 final rule on manufactured-home energy standards and require DOE to provide cost-focused recommendations for HUD to consider when setting standards. - Families and buyers: Would force HUD to weigh lifecycle costs, estimated payback periods, and the impact on the initial purchase price when revising standards. This could change the balance between upfront costs and long-term energy savings. - Manufactured home industry and builders: Requires consideration of factory construction techniques, climate zones, and alternative methods that achieve equivalent or better energy performance. Standards would need to fit factory production realities. - Federal agencies and rules: Removes DOE enforcement authority over manufactured-housing efficiency and explicitly voids DOE's May 2022 final rule. DOE becomes an advisory source that must evaluate cost-effectiveness and payback in its recommendations to HUD.

The bill would void the DOE final rule at 87 Fed. Reg. 32728 (May 31, 2022). DOE would only be able to recommend revisions to HUD's preemptive energy conservation standards. Any recommendation would h…
