Technické informace

The construction system relies on reinforced concrete for skeletal beams and columns construction system. Fly ash brick is recommended for walls as a sustainable alternative for traditional brick. Minvata and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes - polymer waterproofing material are recommended to be used for insulation. The building façades will be clad with wood as a renewable resource that is durable and robust. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, wood has good insulation properties and thus helps to improve the energy efficiency of the building. The wood will be coated also with Silicate paints to guarantee longevity. The windows of the building will be of double glazing and framed with UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) frames due to their excellent thermal performance.
