Timber-Glass Prefabricated Buildings
This chapter is based on using timber and glass which were formerly rather neglected as construction materials. With suitable technological development and appropriate use, they are nowadays becoming essential construction materials as far as energy efficiency is concerned. Their combined use is extremely complicated, from the energy efficiency perspective presented in Sect. 4.3 on the one hand and from the structural viewpoint presented in Sect. 4.4 on the other, which sets multiple traps for designers. A good knowledge of their advantages and drawbacks is thus vitally important, as will be seen in the first two sections of the current chapter. The results of the comparative analysis contained in the last two sections can serve as a good frame of reference to architects and civil engineers in their approximate estimation of the energy demands emerging from different positions and proportions of the glazing surfaces, in addition to being of assistance in their assessment of the influence of the building shape exerts on the energy demand of prefabricated timber-frame buildings.
