Again
and
again
we
are
asked
how
high
are
the
costs
and
quality
in
relation
to
the
construction
techniques
used today?
This question is not explained in one sentence, nor can it be illustrated in a simple table - why not?
A construction method is composed of many individual elements
•
Which materials are used?
•
How high is the quality standard?
•
Higher space utilization
•
How high are the service charges
•
How expensive is the working time
•
Energy costs
•
Property costs
•
Funding costs
•
… and much more besides
How important is the value of your building after completion to you?
•

•
Good saleability of the building
•
Good rentability of the building
We
would
like
to
use
a
few
examples
to
guide
you
in
determining
the
considerable
advantages
for
your
location
and business model.
First a short description of the SOTA-DOMUS-PANEL:
•
Size 3m high - - up to 6m
•
1.3m wide - up to 6m
•
Thickness variable up to 265mm
•

UHPC

-
due
to
its
high
density
structure,
MIT
comes
to
the
conclusion that
UHPC
is one of the most durable materials
in the World- many 1000 years
.
•
Cast in high performance honeycomb support scaffold - load capacity 200 ton/m²
•
Integrated high-performance insulating foam, non-flammable Insulation lambda 0.021 W/(mK) Thermal conductivity
•
Each
honeycomb
cell
hermetically
encloses
the
insulating
foam,
so
that
a
complete moisture penetration of the panel is absolutely impossible.
•
The
cover
layers
are
absolutely
waterproof
and
the
water
penetration depth cannot be measured.
•
This avoids a damp exterior.
•
The top layers are coloured with mineral pigments.
•
Mineral surface layers do not change by sunlight.
•
A recoating is never necessary.
•
As
the
surface
layers
do
not
absorb
moisture,
vegetation
is
avoided
for
a
long
time
without
the
use
of
highly toxic pesticides and herbicides.
•
•
The
extremely
compact
design
of
the
panels
results
in
an
insulation
of
0.21W
/
(mK)
from
a
panel
thickness
of 112mm.
•
Panel thickness 165mm 0.14 W / (mK)
•
Panel thickness 215mm 0.11 W / (mK)
•
Panel thickness 265mm 0.09 W / (mK)

Summary:
The
comparison
here
is
certainly
not
complete,
but
even
here
you
can
see
the
absolute
superiority
of
the
SOTA-DOMUS
material.
A
very
important
feature,
besides
the
excellent
insulation,
short
assembly
time
and
the
non-existent
maintenance
costs,
is the compact construction and the weight.
Especially
in
building
construction,
the
slim
panels
result
in
considerable
gains
in
floor
space,
which
significantly
increases the number of living spaces.
This
increase
in
space,
coupled
with
super
insulation
and
the
absence
of
maintenance
costs,
leads
to
significant
added
value.
Further
savings
are
achieved
by
the
low
weight,
which
results
in
considerably
lower
foundation
and
static
element
costs,
especially in building construction.
FACTOR 10
From the comparison presented here it becomes clear where the
FACTOR 10
comes from
•
10 times faster
•
10 times cheaper
•
10 times more durable
•
10 times less material
•
10 times less CO

footprint
•
