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).

Modular tent classrooms for refugees

An attempt to accommodate refugees in tent classrooms using a range of materials

A design-assist approach can provide the most effective delivery method for multifamily housing projects using mass timber as the primary building element.

The modular coordination system is the process of organizing the dimensions which can be applied to the traditional as well as partially prefabricated or totally prefabricated or industrialized building. Modular coordination which comprises Interrelated Concept for building and construction process. This can be applied comprehensively or partly depending upon the particular circumstances. The modular system can be applied to determine the size of building components and assemblies, installation and service systems to the design of the building. This can be achieved by application of the internationally agreed 100mm Module. Modular Coordination provides the easy grasped layout of the positioning of the building components in relation to each other and to the building and facilitate collaboration between planners, manufactures, distributors and contractors.

The effectiveness of architectural knowledge in the struggle for a better future can be seen in the attitude that a good design or a good architectural solution, does not belong solely to the privileged ones as an improvement of the basic requirements, rather quite the opposite, that it is created as a response to a need. The goal of physical and emotional wellbeing, combined with a long term strategy for reducing the negative impact of the built environment by converting it into a positive influence upon the natural ecosystem, brings together and advances bioclimatic principles, architectural design and sustainable construction in the contemporary housing model dubbed the Active House. The Active House Workshop was held, as part of a wider student initiative New Housing Models for Flood Affected Population, at the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture. The purpose of the campaign was to provide help to flood affected communities and assistance in efforts for repairing buildings in Serbia, hit by the severe floods of May 2014. Students came up with nine design solutions for small family homes, which incorporate the principles of Active House into existing construction techniques. In an architectural context, when concerning repair work after flooding, the need to consider problems related to contemporary living conditions through the ‘active’ category is seen in a new understanding of nature which allows the replacement of a passive restoration model, with an active models for designing in interaction with the environment.

Practical Guide II A short description and definition of DLT panels

The paper presents the new technology of 3D printing of buildings for the sustainable houses of the future.

For moving a step closer to energy sustainable building, in this research paper authors have studied the design, energy consumption and transformation of energy dependencies on roof top solar plant of a residential building by situation actor process & learning action performance methodology.

The article shows how modular construction offers the industry an opportunity to make a step change: shifting many aspects of building activity away from traditional construction sites and into factories with off-site, manufacturing-style production.

This article is a review and presents the possibility of producing
frame buildings in Europe (Poland) in accordance with the applicable standards, including a heat
transfer coefficient.
