There are more than 52,000 manufactured homes placed every year in the US. As of 2015, none of the main manufactured home brands offered a sustainable alternative for mass production. Further, a large number of these type of homes are abandoned at the end of it useful life. Designing a sustainable, safe and affordable alternative to typical manufactured homes is the primary goal of this thesis work. This paper outlines the current manufactured housing status, looking into its fabrication methods and analyzing weak points. There are several issues of concern with manufactured homes, including the low construction quality, short lifespan and lack of safety to withstand weather phenomena. High wind scenarios, like tornados, result in a disproportionately large number of casualties when compared to onsite built housing. A new sustainable alternative to typical mobile homes is proposed with an improved anchoring system, modular framing strategy and materials selection that could potentially reduce fatalities, improve the end-of-life and introduce a sustainable alternative to the current market. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to evaluate the new design’s environmental impacts.
