Location
Description
The prefabricated timber modules, developed by the BERTIM project for renovation of buildings, will be demonstrated in the KUBIK experimental building, located in Bilbao (Spain). The solutions will be improved based on the lessons leraned through the testing process and the global system will then be demonstrated in real buildings, in two social houses. One of them is a linear block of five floors located in Madrid (Spain). The structure consists of 3 concrete load wearing walls with no insulation. There are individual heating systems, varying from non-existing, gas, or electric. No renewable energy sources are exploited.
Highlights
The prefabricated timber modules will be demonstrated in real buildings, two social houses. These demonstration scenarios complement each other very well, as one is in the South of Europe and other in the North of Europe: ensuring that very different weather conditions, different building practices and different social values will be taken into account and analysed.
The demonstration building in Madrid is a linear, 5 floor building. The structure consists of 3 concrete load wearing walls with no insulation. There are individual heating systems, varying from non-existing, gas, or electric. No renewable energy sources are exploited.
