The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Construction work requires thorough consideration, consultation and collaboration with experts. We must draw upon already acquired experience and proven research results. Building a structure without any technical support is dangerous, senseless and economically wasteful today.
Problem
Construction work requires thorough consideration, consultation and collaboration with experts.
Results
We must draw upon already acquired experience and proven research results. Building a structure without any technical support is dangerous, senseless and economically wasteful today. Without proper planning by designers, without well-trained contractors and without excellent supervision, we practically cannot build a structure.
We must also know how much money we need, how much we have and within what timeframe we must build the structure for the investment to pay off. The first phase in construction is design. The designer must carefully select materials in the plans, in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness.
For proper planning of thermal insulation of structural elements, a building physics study is prepared, which shows the thermal transmittance of the structure, heat losses and consumption of heating energy for the season. Proper selection of insulation materials determines higher quality of living in the building, lower consumption of heating energy, prevents thermal bridges and the formation of mould on walls. The thermal transmittance factors of the structure are specified in the Rules on Efficient Use of Energy in Buildings – PURES 2008.
A continuous thermal envelope is a prerequisite for a well-insulated building, which means that thermal insulation is installed along the external perimeter of the building without interruptions. Expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), mineral wool and glass wool are today the most commonly used thermal insulation materials in high-rise construction. They are characterised by good thermal conductivity, relatively light and quick installation and durability when used correctly.
