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 (10) comprising at least one modular building unit (12a) and comprises the steps of: providing a first building section (14) at a final location for the building, including arranging the first building section so that it defines an internal volume (48); constructing a modular building unit (12a) to a substantially assembled form at a location which is distanced from the final location; transporting the modular building unit to the final location in the substantially assembled form; and connecting the modular building unit with the first building section at the final location, to define at least part of the building. The step of constructing the modular building unit also includes: providing the modular building unit with a floor portion formed from material having a thermal conductivity in excess of 0.04W/m.K; arranging the at least one modular building unit so that it comprises an internal volume; providing a wet facility (102) in the internal volume; and arranging the internal volume so that it defines at least part of a circulation space which provides at least one access function for the building during use.
