They use this knowledge to solve problems related to energy efficiency, indoor air quality, moisture control, and other building performance issues.

SEON, Sustainable Energy Outreach Network, is a non-profit organization that trains and certifies high-performance builders. SEON’s training program covers the latest building science principles and practices. It also teaches builders how to design, construct, and operate high-performance buildings.

SEON works with building science experts to develop and deliver its training program. The experts provide instruction on the latest building science research and practices. They also help builders to apply this knowledge to their own work.

By training and certifying high-performance builders, SEON is helping to create a more sustainable built environment. High-performance buildings use less energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve the health and comfort of building occupants.
