Seed Eco-Home Factory Built Modular Home Working Group
This option is the same as the Seed Eco-Home Remote Enterprise Option - with an addition collaborative development commitment towards developing a distributed network of Seed Eco-Home manufacturing locations for Factory Build Modular Homes.
The idea is to leverage remote entrepreneurial talent for developing a Distributive Enterprise around the Seed Eco-Home. We are currently developing the Seed Eco-Home 6 as the base model, with further iterations aimed at full productization. The concept is that of a high quality, well-designed, site-built or transportable, 720 square foot starter home with ecological features. Ecological features include stock 6kW of PV, and a thermal battery, in development. The autonomy milestone is for these houses to produce their own food, water, energy, and process their own waste. Productization aims for 3 fronts:
- DIY model produced by individuals anywhere
- A swarm-buildable model geared specifically for Extreme Build workshops and immersion education settings
- Scalable production with larger swarms - such as 10 homes like this being built in parallel with 240 people
- Factory-Built Modular homes - homes built in a microfactory and transported to their final location. This leverages the advantages of a controlled build environment, while mitigating building inspections via inspection at the microfactory itself. This is OSE's first explicit motion at an open franchise.
Open licensing means that all building designs, build plans, operations, and enterprise aspects are open source, OSHWA- and DIN SPEC 3105-compliant. Anyone is free to manufacture these homes from our open plans. Certification is not free, however, and producers may work with OSE to become certified according to quality control standards that exceed industry standards. Specifically, we promote open engineering standards via open publishing of reference designs and specifications. Further, we develop production machines and techniques for open source building materials to reduce the cost of housing to Zero Marginal Cost.
Program Requirements
To sign up, first register for the Seed Eco-Home Remote Enterprise Option. To join the working group, to qualify:
- You must have an explicit interest in starting a factory-build modular home enterprise using the Seed Eco-Home build system.
- You must be interested in reducing the cost of housing by learning how to optimize house building
- You must submit a business plan for your Factory Build Modular Home enterprise
In the program, we will develop the OSE Seed Eco-Home Certification
