Construction of energy-efficient low-rise buildings by frame-panel sip technology

Abstract

Problem statement. The construction of low-rise buildings in Ukraine using SIP technologies allows to reduce the duration of the construction of buildings, make them environmentally friendly, durable and reliable, as well as reduce their cost. In this regard, energy efficient low-rise buildings of rapid erection using frame-panel technology – SIP technology are relevant in Ukraine. The base of SIP technologies is the use of thermal insulation panels – structural insulated panels (SIP panels) which serve as the main structural elements of the construction object. At present, the number of houses built using this technology in North America is already around 80 %, in seismic Japan – up to 45 %, in Finland – 42 %. The advantage of such construction is that the dwelling can be built in a few months and the final cost is $ 200…$ 250 per square meter, and with decoration – $ 450…$ 500 per square meter. The purpose of the article is to analyze construction of energy efficient prefabricated buildings of SIP panels, aimed to construct such structures in Ukraine. Conclusion. We researched foreign and domestic experience of using frame-panel technology – SIPtechnology; analyzed various structural solutions, providing the possibility of using SIP panels of complete prefabrication; the characteristics of energy-efficient low-rise prefabricated buildings from SIP panels are analyzed. Buildings built with SIP panels, have high seismic resistance. They can withstand earthquakes of more than 8…9 points. SIP technology embodies the advanced achievements in the field of housing construction and is the most rapidly implemented construction technology in the world.
