The airtight construction of a modular house is an advantage that has one inevitable consequence - without efficient air exchange, the building begins to accumulate moisture and CO₂. Recuperation, or mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, solves this problem in a controlled and energy-efficient way. Unlike gravity ventilation, it operates independently of the weather and chimney draught -...
External wall of a modular house - cross-section, layers and thermal performance
In both traditional and modular construction, the external wall is responsible for limiting heat loss and the actual energy efficiency of the building. Among other things, its construction determines how much heat stays inside, how the building reacts to temperature changes and what the real heating costs will be over the next decades. Builders often ask about the coefficient of...
