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).

10 Reasons To Build With Mass Timber

A number of key criteria that make timber a promising material for house constructions

The analysis of the concepts of emergency architecture, emergency planning and postdisaster reconstruction aids to understanding the contributions that could be provided by the architecture, the governments, the citizens and the institutions responsible for the disaster management in those situations.

This document introduces the activities and services of the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies in order to define who we are, what goals and future strategies we set, which activities and which quality commitments we have made, faced with these various actors involved in the civil protection system.

Considering its geographical area, climate and demographic features, wealth of natural resources, as well as the social framework and history of development of the Republic of Serbia, the green economy and green growth are the best paths for increasing the competitiveness of the Serbian economy. A shift of the development paradigm is not possible without changing the manner of producing, importing, transferring, distributing and consuming energy. The case study presenting benefits from building wooden houses highlights a possible solution for the problem of energy-efficient construction by using locally available material. Serbia has a decades-long tradition of wood construction technology.
