SEON has a solution for speeding up the housing crisis by utilizing an open-source, breakthrough panel that acts for plumbing / electric and HVAC, the way a USB acts for a computer

SEON has a solution for speeding up the housing crisis by utilizing an open-source, breakthrough panel that will standardize how plumbing / electric / HVAC are plugged into a house – the way a USB works for a computer.

Program Initiatives & Objectives:

  • Long-Term Housing Solution
    • Addressing the housing crisis by constructing over 250 (to begin) affordable multifamily and single dwelling units in collaboration with four Vermont housing trusts.
  • Innovative Construction Panel
    • Introducing a groundbreaking, made-in-Vermont construction panel that integrates electric, plumbing, and HVAC systems into housing units, similar to a plug-and-play USB device for computers.
  • Sustainable Construction Strategy
    • Introducing a new strategy that implements panels with modules to standardize and simplify sustainable construction processes, aligning with the VT Climate Action Plan.
  • Workforce Initiative
    • Establishing a groundbreaking workforce initiative with two key components:
      1. Creation of the “Modular Installer” position to reduce strain on tradespeople and create new jobs.
      2. Implementation of the Offsite Construction Workforce Training Program, a first-in-the-nation initiative to train workers in innovative construction methodologies.
