This is the main output of the Sustainable Modular Houses for People in Need, Project Number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000025502. The “research–knowledge hub” (RKH) is an electronic library developed and created for containing detailed items of applied research in the field of timber construction design principles, circular economy, sustainable development and material availability in different regions of Europe.

RKH is an innovative tool for bibliographic search, an electronic library in all languages of the partners in which the project partners have uploaded complete methods of construction (assembly and disassembly), studies, reports, practical guides and case studies which are expected to assist on finding all the necessary resources under one umbrella. The purpose of the RKH is to be a valuable tool in the hands of both researchers but mostly for the professionals who are actually involved in the whole phase of delivering a modular unit for people in need (from design to construction).

IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CLIMATE ON MATERIALS USED IN PREFABRICATED WOOD CONSTRUCTION

Various matrials are used in prefabricated construction, such as wood based and non-wood based materials. Climate of the environment does not influence each material in the same manner. This information should be taken in consideration as early as project making phase, where an optimal material for a prefabricated wood structure should be choosen whose propperties will satisfy given requirements for a longer period of time. This paper will present materials used in prefabricated construction, construction requirements, influence of environmental factors on materials. On top of all that an algorithm that helps choose optimal material for prefabricated wood construction will be presented
