Cost benchmarking of different building solutions for walls and floors
Cost study that compares the value of the materials and labor required by different building solutions for partition walls and floors, which provides market context for potential applications of an insulating wooden panel.
Modelling the market for partitions
Determination of a collection of ratios that relate the area of a dwelling with the amount of partition walls, drawn from the analysis of a sample of floorplans typical of a range of standards of housing. Since the surface statistics are available at provincial level, this allows a detailed approach to the demand for materials for partitions.
Proposal for the update of the building code regarding design and execution of ceramic brickwork and blockwork
This proposal deals with issues not covered by the current brickwork building codes, namely the large format pieces that have appeared in the market in the last years, the problem of thermal bridges, the proportionality with seismic risk, and the environmental impact.
