In the design and construction of a building, it is essential to guarantee the thermal comfort of the occupants without high energy consumption during both the winter and summer seasons. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop energy-efficient building envelope solutions.

Activity 9 focuses on assessing the thermal and energy performance of the prefabricated panels and modular building solution to be developed in the framework of R2U Technologies project.

Objectives

Activity 9 aims to assess the thermal behaviour and energy efficiency of the developed fully integrated prefabricated concrete wall panels and modular building solution. This Activity will include the experimental testing of the thermophysical properties of the materials and the numerical simulation of the thermal performance of the prefabricated concrete wall system, including thermal bridge effects. Moreover, energy simulation and subsequent thermal monitoring of the prototype, that will be built in the final phase of the project, are envisaged.

This Activity will make it possible to integrate the optimization of the structural performance of prefabricated panels with their thermal performance, contributing to increasing the energy efficiency of the developed building thermal envelope solutions.
