{"data":{"id":"us/24-cfr-3280.510","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"24 CFR 3280.510","heading":"Heat loss certificate.","body":"The manufactured home manufacturer must permanently affix the following “Certificate” to an interior surface of each dwelling unit that is readily visible to the occupant. The “Certificate” shall specify the following:\n(a) Heating zone certification. The design zone at which the manufactured home heat loss complies with § 3280.506(a).\n(b) Outdoor certification temperature. The lowest outdoor temperature at which the installed heating equipment will maintain a 70 °F temperature inside the home without storm sash or insulating glass for Zones 1 and 2, and with storm sash or insulating glass for Zone 3 and complying with § 3280.508 and § 3280.509.\n(c) Operating economy certification temperature. The temperature to be specified for operating economy and energy conservation shall be 20 °F or 30% of the design temperature difference, whichever is greater, added to the temperature specified as the heating system capacity certification temperature without storm windows or insulating glass in Zones 1 and 2 and with storm windows or insulating glass in Zone 3. Design temperature difference is 70° minus the heating system capacity certification temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.\nHEATING CERTIFICATE\nHome Manufacturer\nPlant Location\nHome Model\n(Include Uo Value Zone Map)\nThis manufactured home has been thermally insulated to conform with the requirements of the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards for all locations within Uo Value Zone ____.\nHeating Equipment Manufacturer\nHeating Equipment Model\nThe above heating equipment has the capacity to maintain an average 70F temperature in this home at outdoor temperatures of [see paragraph (b) of this section] F. To maximize furnace operating economy and to conserve energy, it is recommended that this home be installed where the outdoor winter design temperature (97 1/2%) is not higher than [see paragraph (c) of this section] F degrees Fahrenheit.\nThe above information has been calculated assuming a maximum wind velocity of 15 MPH at standard atmospheric pressure.\n(d) The following additional statement must be provided on the heating certificate and data plate required by § 3280.5 when the home is built with a vapor retarder of not greater than one perm (dry cup method) on the exterior side of the insulation: “This home is designed and constructed to be sited only in humid or fringe climate regions as shown on the Humid and Fringe Climate Map.” A reproduction of the Humid and Fringe Climate Map in § 3280.504 is to be provided on the heating certificate and data plate. The map must be not less than 3 1/2 inch × 2 1/4 inch in size and may be combined with the Uo Value Zone Map for Manufactured Housing in § 3280.506.","path":["Title 24—Housing and Urban Development","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Housing and Urban Development","CHAPTER XX—OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING—FEDERAL HOUSING COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT","PART 3280—MANUFACTURED HOME CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY STANDARDS","Subpart F—Thermal Protection"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-24.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:55Z","sha256":"f2958f25308d1432d2256b672007d96ccd2aadbb2c2b7e26d97970a042792a30","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/24-cfr-3280.509","next":"us/24-cfr-3280.511"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
