Demountable prototype house – from facade to water tap

In connection with climate development, our buildings, both existing and newbuild, have to be intensively investigated regarding their energy balance and use of resources. An energy‐efficient dry building system capable of being recycled is important for new building today. This is the starting point for the project ReDeMaM (recyclable – demountable – highly energy‐efficient – massive – prototype house), to investigate whether appropriate systems are already available on the market and to what extent these are compatible with each other. The end result should be a prototype house, which includes all necessary elements including finishings with the objective of being capable of being dismantled, reused and recycled. The research project is supported by the research initiative Zukunft Bau (future building) and is currently underway at the Chair of Structural Design at the TU Dresden.
