Application of the Structural Insulated Panels. Case study Kosovo
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Conventional concrete building construction are one of the main contributors on carbon footprint in building sector globally which in many countries is being replaced with light timber prefabricated constructions.
Prefabricated building construction is being considered one of the responds towards decrement of carbon footprint from construction sector. Structural Insulated Panel construction belongs to one of the main types of prefabricated timber constructions with integrated thermal insulation, which is changing the way of building construction in many terms by offering a high living commodity with a very low environmental effects.
What are the advantages and challenges of Structural Insulated Panel system implementation in Kosovo construction sector? This paper focuses on a case study which offers sufficient analysis and information on advantages and weaknesses of these type of buildings and challenges including the context of Kosovo as a new market for Structural Insulated Panel.
