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).

After the unprecedented floods that devastated Serbia and the region in May 2014, the students of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Belgrade started the initiative New models of housing for those vulnerable to floods in order to provide help from a professional point of view. Publications represents one solution from the aforementioned initiative with possibilities for further development.

This paper describes a wooden prefabricated low-energy house which consists of concrete foundations and wooden prefabricated construction.
The house represents a combination of American and European construction, it also has the possibility of easy expansion in all directions, during demolition it is easy to dispose of waste, with pictures of how to install a prefabricated house.

Fire Safe Design of Timber Structures

This Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the fire safety design of timber buildings in compliance with the NCC (National Construction Code of Australia - volume 1).

The guide addresses specific hazards with respect to the service life of timber construction: in-ground decay, above-ground decay, weathering, termites, corrosion, marine borers.

A roadmap for the decarbonisation of the building and construction sector in Ireland.
