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).

The aim of this research was the development of an innovative, high quality and inexpensive modular system that does not exclude increased ecological standards.

This paper focuses on modular construction as an off-site production system, where a framework to compare waste generation of modular and conventional, in-situ construction methods is proposed

This paper explores the conceptual design for an upcycled shipping container building, which is designed as a carbon-smart modular living solution to a single family house under three design scenarios, related to cold, temperate, and hot–humid climatic zones, respectively

100 Projects UK CLT

The research team collated extensive data on the design and build of 100 of the UK’s most noteworthy completed CLT buildings. With input from specialist engineers, contractors and key stakeholders this information has been structured into chapters which aim to provide designers, contractors and developers with the key information they require to begin their own journey with engineered timber.

Estratègies sostenibles

Architecture adapted to the new environmental situation. The study proposes a solution with a reversible construction system with low environmental impact materials, which ensure 100% reuse of the components.

This article presents some criteria aimed at improving the durability of wood outdoors, as a result of experience, diagnosis and actions carried out on a wooden pedestrian bridge.

This project aims to quantify the emissions related to the construction sector in Ireland and the built environment more generally
