Abstract
For several years the Solar Energy Research Institute has been testing the effectiveness of mobile home weatherization measures. During the winter of 1988-89, several weatherization measures were thermally tested on three mobile homes under controlled conditions inside a large environmental enclosure. The effects of each weatherization measure on conduction losses, infiltration losses, andcombined furnace and duct-delivered heat efficiency were monitored. The study demonstrated that cost-effective heating energy savings of about 20% to 50% are possible if weatherization techniques adapted to the special construction details in mobile homes are applied.
