RP1012: Next Generation Low-Emissivity Pliable Membranes for Moisture Management in Building Construction

This project aims to develop sustainable, affordable and transportable housing units (or Pods).

The Pods will be designed to be highly efficient and integrate energy, water and waste efficiency strategies and renewable energy technologies, whilst providing high levels of occupant comfort and quality design aesthetics.

The project will focus initially on improving existing Pod designs based on container ships. Subsequent iterations will involve new integrated designs, with Pods being built and monitored to assess real performance. This will allow further development based on lessons learnt.

The project results will form the basis of Nova Deko’s next generation of affordable, mass produced, sustainable housing products.
