HOPE

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).

Sustainable Architecture Module: Qualities, Use, and Examples of Sustainable Building Materials

Sustainable Architecture Module: Qualities, Use, and Examples of Sustainable Building Materials

Careful selection of environmentally sustainable building
materials is the easiest way for architects to begin incorporating
sustainable design principles in buildings. Traditionally,
price has been the foremost consideration when comparing
similar materials or materials designated for the same function.
However, the “off-the-shelf” price of a building component
represents only the manufacturing and transportation costs,
not social or environmental costs.
