Building Certifications
We are actively engaged in conversations with leading manufacturers regarding their capabilities to improve the efficiency of the homes they build. As part of this effort, we are consistently improving the quality of our housing stock through the purchase of ENERGY STAR® certified homes. In 2019, ELS purchased more than 150 ENERGY STAR® certified homes from our manufacturing partners across the country and we plan to continue purchasing ENERGY STAR® homes from those facilities, where available, moving forward. These homes are designed and installed to meet the energy efficiency requirements set by the U.S. EPA. Not only do these homes use less energy for heating, cooling and water heating than typical manufactured homes, they are also better insulated for the comfort of our residents which reduces their average utility expense.
