The South Burlington School District has awarded KBS Builders, a South Paris, Maine-based modular builder, a $2.2 million contract to manufacture and build three classrooms and two group rooms at two elementary schools in Burlington, Vermont, according to a company press release.
Through the Advanced Building Construction Initiative, the Department of Energy will provide funding to the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation to improve the productivity of KBS’s factory and the energy efficiency of the units for these modules. The initiative integrates energy-efficiency solutions into highly productive U.S. construction practices for new buildings and retrofits, according to the DOE.
