Concepts for energy-self-sufficient buildings erected with precast elements in modular construction

摘要

The future construction method must orient itself to many criteria: i.e., industrialized rapid construction, the use of RC material and the need for energy-efficient operation with natural resources. The InnoLiving model house has succeeded in satisfying many of these criteria. The construction of the model building is determined by the method of precast construction. All structural elements are precast, individually transported to the construction site and erected to a complete building within a day, without the use of in-situ concrete. The dimensions of the individual construction elements are chosen with a view to creation of a building made of modules. The cross-section of the wide-span slender floor slab is characterized by its high stiffness and very low weight. The shape of the cross-section moreover provides sufficient space for flush integration of HVCA conduits and pipes. Nearly half (45%) the volume for all precast elements was produced with 100% RC aggregate.
