Can Melton supply a used module for a demo?

The team discussed whether KB Melton (modular building manufacturer) might have a used or surplus module available that could serve as a passive thermal demonstration platform.

During the Oct 14 meeting, the team discussed sourcing a demonstration structure for passive thermal retrofits. One suggestion was to ask KB Melton — already connected to the project through the slideshow materials — whether they have a used or surplus modular unit available. A used module from a manufacturer would be structurally sound, built with standard construction materials, and potentially available at low or no cost. Bruce’s 2×4’ modular tank concept pairs naturally with a modular building platform.

Next action: contact KB Melton to ask about used or surplus module availability and pricing; specify approximate size needs (comparable to an 8’×12’ shed or small office).
