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.
