The Betonika “House 2010” concept for the construction of energy efficient one-family dwelling houses was introduced at the “HOME World - 2010“exhibition. HOME World 2010, is an exhibition for construction technologies and products and it was held in Kaunas, Lithuania (24-27 March, 2010).
The concept received the highest evaluation in the “Innovative product- 2010” category. The category was evaluated by a panel of construction experts. Both the jury and potential customers, specially appreciated the innovative use of technology, high energy efficiency, architectural versatility, design flexibility and the overall service concept.
HOUSE - 2010 Concept
Based on the multistory housing concept, Betonika” applies new technologies in the construction of one-family dwelling, enabling increased energy efficiency, resulting in lower heating expenses. Energy efficiency is an increasingly important factor due to the recent rise of energy prices.
The energy efficiency of a one-family dwelling house is evaluated by thermal resistance parameters and the tightness of the house. The thermal resistance in the sandwich elements was calculated to be 6, 64 m2K/W and up and the house received the B energy efficiency class. The calculations were carried out by the Institute of Architecture and construction of Kaunas university of Technology.
The pre-cast concrete “House-2010” concept offers wide choice in architectural possibilities. Facades are aesthetic and solid with multiple surface solutions like; clinker, graphic concrete, Reckli®, etc. The elements are always designed to individual customer and project needs.
Betonika is able to provide the concept as a “Full Package” including design, production, transportation and assembly of the precast-elements. The customer can rest assured that Betonika assumes all responsibility of the pre-cast construction.
The award can be seen as a significant recognition for Betonika pre-cast concrete products and its value- adding innovation. With the first signs of economic recovery already appearing, we think that the award will provide Betonika much needed positive visibility and will also help the customers focus on the right attributes when choosing the construction concept of their future HOUSE.
