In the Pacific Northwest, a major effort has been made to improve the energy efficiency of new buildings. In the residential building sector, energy-efficient standards for new construction, called Model Conservation Standards (MCS), have been proposed; and demonstration projects are under way to implement MCS features and to explore new conservation possibilities. Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) administers a Pacific Northwest program to promote the construction and marketing of energy-efficient site-built homes. This program, Super Good Cents (SGC), pays incentives for new buildings that meet the MCS energy-efficiency levels. Starting in late 1987, Bonneville began a research and demonstration project to include HUD-code manufactured homes (homes built under the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's standards) in the SGC program. This report provides information on PNL's activities in collecting technical and cost data, and presents selected descriptive results from the cost database. Analysis will be performed under a separate Bonneville contract after energy, ventilation, and infiltration rate data are collected. 2 refs., 12 tabs.
