‪The consensus is that anthropogenically accelerated climate change is real, it's here, and it's only going to get worse. It's extremely likely that we have already passed the point of preventing or reversing it, so mitigating the present and approaching issues are challenges we will all face.‬

‪It's likely that serious societal change is the main thing that will really achieve this, which lets be honest is unlikely to happen quickly enough.

‪The future is looking pretty challenging, and while not buying new, recycling furniture, or improving a few buildings may not feel like they're making a massive difference in the big scheme of things; if we all take small steps we can still improve our own little place in the world - and what is a marathon made up of other than a lot of small steps.‬

We are committed to building structures that are not only energy efficient and eco-friendly, but also stylish and modern. To achieve this, we use the most advanced woodworking machines available, including a CNC Hundegger carpentry centre and Weinmann production line.

To pass the condensation requirements of NCC2022 "Risks associated with water vapour and condensation must be managed to minimise their impact on the health of occupants." (extract from NCC 2022, H4P7 Condensation and Water Vapour Management)

So... how do you do that? Well - one way to get a WUFI assessment done.

What is WUFI?

WUFI is a German software program that takes into account the thermal and moisture properties of a construction element or build-up of construction elements across all classes of buildings and allows assessment of moisture-related risks in construction, such as mould growth, corrosion and interstitial and surface condensation.

Under this verification method, a wall or roof system has to achieve a mould index of less than 3 to be buildable under NCC2022.

Do you know what the Mould Growth Index of your wall or roof systems are?

10 days in Alta Wy. took us from a well built foundation to a finished structure. Teamwork, good communication, grit and experience goes a long way. This is the second loveschackarchitecture project we’ve complete in the last couple months and we’re honored to be a part of their design/build process. #prefab #passivehouse #prefabiseasy #industrialathletes

So much time and energy has gone into developing a strategy for insulating the foundation of Kala homes, and over the years we’ve gotten pretty good at it. No two homes we build are the same but years of building to a higher level has allowed us to figure out the best way to build for different needs and budgets.

For this home we installed 4 inches of EPS foam on top of 8 inches of compacted gravel with the seams staggered to minimize heat loss.

Above the foam we installed our air/vapor barrier: a 15 mm plastic sheet that we ran 1 foot up the walls and taped with Compego Tape. The foundation wall serves as the air barrier from the foundation wall to mud sill. All of the plastic is taped, including penetrations for the floor drainage.

As our final step to creating a well insulated basement floor, we pour the concrete making sure that timing lines up with the installation of our air/vapor barrier. If we install the 15 mm plastic too soon it will shrink with exposure to the elements. Our goal is to install the plastic and pour concrete the next day.

Ste vedeli, da so skeletno leseno gradnjo uporabljali že naši predniki? Danes se znova uveljavlja, ker pa so postopki modernejši in tehnološko dovršeni, so tako zgrajene hiše še vzdržljivejše in seveda varčnejše kot v starih časih. 🙂 Bivanje v skeletni leseni hiši je nadvse prijetno, saj je les naraven material, živ in topel, prijeten na otip in pogled. 🥰️
