| Abstract |
The aim of BIOCELL combined project is to demonstrate the benefits of the creation of a new sustainable design methodology to create pre-engineered buildings in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector. The main objectives of this combined project are:
1. To develop a new methodology for the sustainable design and construction of industrialised cellular buildings. This methodology will utilise low energy design initiatives, construction and operational efficiency tools and the integration of Renewable Energy Systems.
2. To develop new industrialised modules with integrated solar thermal and solar PV components as well as built in energy efficient systems and services. The project will also consider environmental impact of materials. The various sections will only have to be delivered and assembled on site in order to create the total system. The autonomy and hybrid RES supply of BIOCELL cellular buildings will be also consider.
3. To demonstrate the use of this methodology and these new industrialised modules for engineers and architects in Europe. Two configurations of living habitats will be built. One of them will be installed in Spain and the other one in the United Kingdom.
4. To make the new methodology and the new industrialised and integrated modules commercially available and to demonstrate their cost-effectiveness in the European building market. |
