Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various levels of investment in energy-efficient designs are studied for new mobile homes. The purpose is to define relationships between annual energy use for space heating and cooling and additional initial investment in the structure shell for a range of climates in the United States. Climate, fuel price, and other economic factors are used to determine which energy-conserving designs are cost-effective. Maximum life-cycle savings configurations for a typical 14' x 68' mobile home are developed for nine different locations in the U.S.

Book excerpt: Few detailed studies that involve complex interactions of social, economic, and technical factors have much direct and immediate impact on the real world. This study could well be one of those few exceptions. Arthur Bernhardt, an internationally known building industry expert, recognized as the leading authority on the mobile home industry, has compiled in this book overwhelming evidence that applying the efficient methods and techniques of that industry to other, older sectors of the building industry will enable the United States and countries around the world to overcome the housing crisis, making it possible to divert some of the expenditures for public subsidization of housing to other social priorities. Far from advocating an endless sprawl of mobile home parks as the basis for tomorrow's housing, Bernhardt states at the outset that "as the housing crisis continues to worsen, many people are asking whether mobile homes might become a viable housing alternative.... My personal answer is 'I hope not!'" Rather, his goal is to transfer the innovative spirit and built-in efficiencies of the mobile home production and delivery system to a full range of housing configurations. Bernhardt reached this conclusion only after overcoming an initial skepticism—he originally shared a widespread negative predisposition toward the mobile home industry: "This basic conclusion is the exact opposite of what I expected to find when I first looked at the mobile home industry years ago. Then, sharing with many others in the United States a strong bias against this industry, I decided to devote a few weeks to writing a negative case study on 'how notto industrialize the building industry.' One of the first findings of this investigation, however, was startling: The mobile home industry is the most efficient building industry in the world." The author then undertook a full-scale study of all aspects of the industry, in a seven-year project at MIT. He built a staff of more than a hundred professionals in such fields as engineering, economics, finance, law, management, political science, and sociology, scattered throughout the country. Supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Bernhardt and his staff conducted thousands of surveys and interviews in all sectors of the building industry and at all levels of government. The results of this research were compiled in a massive, five-volume, 5000 page report to HUD. Bernhardt's up-to-the-minute book—which is richly illustrated with halftones and drawings—condenses that report, and sets forth in a vigorous and explicit way the conclusions and recommendations that the full weight of the evidence compels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various levels of investment in energy-efficient designs are analyzed for new single-family detached dwellings. The purpose is to develop relationships between initial cost and annual energy savings in space heating and cooling for use in the ORNL residential energy use simulation model. The analysis is performed for a 1200 ft2 ranch-style home in nine U.S. locations using both natural gas or electricity. The annual loads calculation and cost survey are based on a report by Petersen at the National Bureau of Standards, which used the NBSLD computer code. The economic analyses, which minimize lifecycle costs, were conducted using an updated version of a computer program written at ORNL. Results define relationships between annual energy savings in space heating and cooling versus additional initial cost, which demonstrate the law of diminishing marginal returns. Curve characteristics are generally a function of climate, although the order of implementation for the various energy-conserving options (heating only) is basically constant across all regions. Potential reductions in annual energy use range from 30 to 60% when compared to the present 1974 Housing and Urban Development Minimum Property Standards (HUD--MPS). Optimum levels of investment in energy-conserving design for heating only were computed for each location. When compared to the 1974 HUD--MPS, major differences were noted for all but the natural gas-heated homes in areas less than 5200 heating degree days. Paybacks for additional investment above the current standard range from 15 to 20 years for natural gas users and four to six years for electrically-heated homes.
