“Green” Manufactured Homes Offer an Overall Better Use of Energy, Materials, and Natural Resources

One of the unseen and seemingly unknown features with benefits is that “green” manufactured homes offer better use of energy, materials, and natural resources. 

A retailer who can articulate this accurate message will elevate a home buyer’s appreciation of manufactured housing as a quality form of housing addressing conservation and environmental concerns.

Green building is becoming increasingly popular throughout most of the world, and this trend also extends to manufactured housing. In this day and age, there are many choices and affordable options available to potential manufactured home buyers that are beautiful, high-quality, and “green.”

The inherent manufactured home factory construction process boosts numerous green benefits in every home produced. The efficient use and less waste of materials, along with the environmentally controlled indoor atmosphere of the building facility, resulting in more durable homes than many competing site-built homes of similar styles. In addition, buyers of today’s modern manufactured housing have green choices when ordering homes based on their likes and dislikes.

In addition to the environmental factors, here are a few of the benefits homebuyers can enjoy with their new quality “green” manufactured home. A successful salesperson will have learned how to incorporate the following “green” advantages when interacting with homebuyers who are noticeably concerned about energy conservation and environmental issues.

• Comfort: The construction of a manufactured home or a modular home lends itself to reduced drafts and more humidity control.

• Cost Effectiveness:  The energy efficiencies of the manufacturing process found in a green manufactured home translate to lower utility costs. Greater flexibility in the construction process also allows for customization to meet homeowner lifestyle and needs, including enhanced energy efficiency, such as optional ENERGY STAR  manufactured homes and modular homes for additional savings.

•  Environmental Quality: The Indoor construction environment is healthier, using products containing fewer chemicals. Other benefits include moisture control and air filtration.

• Low Maintenance: The entire home is constructed with materials of the highest quality to reduce the need for replacement repairs.

How “green” a manufactured home is depends on the aforementioned features involved in the home’s construction, and the way in which the home is used every day.
