Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing
In order to provide information to the public and to inform the final rulemaking to establish energy conservation standards for manufactured housing, the Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared and published a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The draft EIS presents information about potential impacts to the human environment of DOE’s proposed action to establish energy conservation standards for manufactured housing; potential impacts of alternatives to this proposed action, including a no action alternative; and adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided.
Specifically, the draft EIS presents information related to potential impacts related to: (1) energy resources; (2) air resources (including greenhouse gases, climate change, ambient air quality and indoor air quality); (3) health and safety; (4) socioeconomics; and (5) environmental justice. The draft EIS includes a summary of the alternatives, information, and analyses submitted by commenters during the scoping period for consideration by DOE in developing the EIS.
