I am buying a used Skyline home. This unit has a Super Good Cents Seal attached to it. What does this mean?

In the early 1990s the Bonneville Power Administration, (BPA), in conjunction with the State of Oregon, tested and developed criteria for a more energy efficient home package. This package was named Super Good Sense. The Super Good Sense package included; R-21 insulation in the walls, R-38 insulation in the ceiling and R-33 Insulation in the floor. A mechanical ventilation system was required. Heat ducts, windows, exterior doors, and skylights had to meet more stringent criteria as well for the Super Good Sense standards. The standards of the new Energy Star homes were developed by incorporating many of the standards of the Super Good Sense.
