Developing sustainable modular homes from enhanced recycled materials

Vector Homes设计了一个新的住宅建筑系统，使用他们创新的纳米材料增强回收材料面板，可以很容易地螺栓连接到快速组装的钢框架上，形成一个热效率高的住宅。总之，Vector Homes独特的材料和设计将在不影响成本和质量的情况下提供NetZero住房。该行业正面临几个关键挑战：1。英国住房短缺/对经济适用房的需求——不断上涨的土地价值和建筑成本的通货膨胀阻止了新公司进入市场。修订《建筑物规例》-推动发展更多防火材料的需要。英国建筑优先降低50%的排放-意味着需要开发更多可持续的材料来减少碳含量。该项目建立在Vector Homes现有材料开发研发的基础上，并将在国家测试设施中建造一个全尺寸的原型住宅，作为原则的证明，证明可以通过增强的回收材料来改进现有的建筑部件，并允许监管部门批准。

Vector Homes has designed a new residential building system using their innovative nanomaterial enhanced recycled material panels which can be easily bolted to a rapidly assembled steel frame, forming a thermally efficient home. Together, the Vector Homes unique materials and design will deliver NetZero housing without compromising on cost and quality.The industry is facing several key challenges:1. UK housing deficit/need for affordable housing - Rising land values and inflation in construction costs preventing new companies from entering the market.2. Amendments to Building Regulations - Driving need for more fire-safe materials to be developed.3. UK Construction priorities to lower emissions by 50% - Means more sustainable materials need to be developed to reduce embodied carbon..This project builds on existing materials development R&D at Vector Homes and will result in the build of a full-sized prototype home at a national test facility to act as a proof of principle, demonstrate that improvements over existing building components can be achieved with enhanced recycled materials and allow regulatory approval to be achieved.
