Building comprising modular building unit
There is disclosed a method of constructing a building comprising at least one modular building unit, as well as a building and a building system comprising at least one modular building unit, and a modular building unit for such a building. One method disclosed in the document is for constructing a building comprising at least one modular building unit (12a), and comprises the steps of: constructing a foundation (60) for the building; providing a modular building unit (12a) comprising an internal volume and a floor portion (68) defining a floor area (162) of said unit, the floor portion comprising a floor portion support structure (72); and locating the modular building unit on the foundation. The step of providing the modular building unit comprises: arranging the internal volume so that it contains a wet facility and so it defines at least part of a circulation space which provides an access function for the building. The foundation has a thermal insulation layer (64) extending under the floor area of the modular building unit and has a thermal resistance (R1). The floor portion support structure has an aggregate thermal resistance (R2). A total thermal resistance (RT) is equal to the sum of R1 and R2, and R1 is at least around 60% of RT.
