Problem
Traditional construction methods often result in buildings with poor insulation, extended construction times, and limited resistance to environmental factors like earthquakes and hurricanes. These conventional approaches can also lead to higher energy consumption and increased costs for both construction and long-term maintenance.
Solution
Baupanel System offers a comprehensive construction solution based on structural panels that provide high mechanical strength, fire resistance, and superior thermal and acoustic insulation. The system enables the construction of energy-efficient structures capable of withstanding earthquakes and hurricanes, while also reducing construction time and costs. The Baupanel system integrates structure, insulation, and cladding into a single component, streamlining the building process and enhancing the overall performance and sustainability of the building.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes construction companies, architects, and developers seeking efficient, sustainable, and resilient building solutions, as well as homeowners looking for energy-efficient and safe housing options.
Features
- Integral construction system using 3D structural panels made of galvanized steel mesh and an EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core.
- Monolithic reinforced concrete structures formed by applying concrete to both sides of the panel on-site, either by pneumatic projection or casting.
- High thermal and acoustic insulation properties due to the EPS core, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.
- Resistance to fire, earthquakes, and hurricanes, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
- Reduced construction time compared to traditional methods due to the panel's integrated design.
- Compliance with structural codes, CTE (Código Técnico de la Edificación), and Eurocodes.
- System versatility allows for a wide range of architectural designs and building types, including residential, commercial, and industrial.
- SATE (Sistema de Aislamiento Térmico por el Exterior) option for thermal rehabilitation of existing buildings, improving energy efficiency and comfort.
