ISOBIO: rendimiento higrotérmico medido de un panel aislante estructural con materiales de origen biológico = ISOBIO: dynamic hygrothermal modelling and validation of a structural insulated panel with bio-based materials

El impacto ambiental del sector de la construccion, responsable del 40% del consumo total de energia primaria de la Union Europea, requiere la reduccion tanto de la energia incorporada de los materiales de construccion como de la energia operativa que consume un edificio durante su vida util. La madera y los residuos agricolas pueden proporcionar materiales renovables de origen biologico de origen local que ayudan a construir una economia circular y a reducir el impacto ambiental del sector de la construccion. Este articulo muestra un ejemplo de un panel aislante estructural prefabricado, hecho con materiales de base biologica, disenado para su uso en edificios de energia casi nula. Abstract The environmental impact of the construction sector - responsible for 40% of the total primary energy consumption of the European Union – requires the reduction of both the embodied energy of building materials as well as operational energy consumed by a building during its lifetime. Timber and agricultural residues can provide locally sourced bio-based renewable materials that help build a circular economy and reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector. This article shows an example of a prefabricated structural insulating panel, made with bio-based materials, designed for use in nearly-zero energy buildings.
