The Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP) team is one of five Building America teams competitively funded by the US Department of Energy. This team focuses on improving the energy efficiency, durability, and indoor air quality of new industrialized housing while effectively balancing cost, design, construction, and energy decisions to develop customized solutions for team members. The team brings practical research expertise to America's home building Industry.
BAIHP began work on September 1, 1999. DOE funding for the project is supplemented by cost share funding from the Florida Energy Office (now defunct), the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), and many Industry Partners. FSEC, a research institute of the University of Central Florida (UCF), serves as the project prime contractor bringing decades of application-oriented energy research and industry consulting together with researchers from around the country.
BAIHP Goals
- Cost effectively reduce the energy cost of industrialized housing and portable classrooms by up to 50% while enhancing indoor air quality, durability and productivity.
- Assist in the construction of thousands of energy-efficient industrialized houses
