Climate Zones for Manufactured Homes ** 🏠
**Important Information about Climate Zones for Manufactured Homes ** 🏠 Today I was working with a cuatomer that was planning to place a manufactured home in Henry County located in Virginia. The county has climate zone requirements! 🌍 Usually we focus on Wimd Zones, but this is also an improvement element located on the Data Plate. 🔍 **Why It's Important:** Henry County requires manufactured homes to meet Climate Zone 2 or 3 standards. These requirements are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to ensure homes can withstand local weather conditions. 💡 **What Does This Mean ?** - Homes must have higher standards for insulation and energy efficiency. - Homes built for a lower thermal zone cannot be placed in a higher zone. - Meeting these standards ensures your home is comfortable and safe, regardless of the weather. 🌟 **Benefits:** - Enhanced comfort and safety for residents. - Increased energy efficiency, which can lead to cost savings. - Compliance with HUD regulations, giving you peace of mind. The end result was the home was not a Climate 2 and the did not meet the requirements.
