Abstract
A full scale section of half of the top of a single wide manufactured home has been studied in the Large Scale Climate Simulator at Oak Ridge National Lab. A small roof cavity with little room for insulation at the eaves is often the case with single wide units and limits practical ways to improve thermal performance. The purpose of the current tests was to obtain steady state performance data for the roof cavity of the manufactured home test section when the roof cavity was insulated with fiberglass batts, blown-in rock wool insulation or combinations of these insulations and powder-filled layers of fiberglass insulation batts; a layer of PEPs and one layer of the fiberglass batts; four layers of the fiberglass batts; and an average 4.1 inch thick layer of blown-in rock wool at an average density of 2.4 lb/ft3.
