Full textIn 1994, it became legal in Sweden to build residential houses with wooden frames higher than two storeys. There are many advantages to building houses with wooden frames, not least from an environmental point of view, but very few multi-storey houses with wooden frames are built in comparison to frames of other materials. The purpose of this study is to examine how clients reason when deciding on whether to build or not to build multi-storey houses with wooden frames and how their attitudes are towards this form of construction. To do this, a qualitative study has been conducted in which five people in a customer position have been interviewed. The results show that there is a certain lack of knowledge about wooden frames. Information is available, but few have taken part of it and the certainty of building in concrete in many cases exceeds the advantages that wooden frames actually have. Costs are for obvious reasons the most important aspect for many. There are different opinions regarding cost advantages in wooden frames, but if there are any, they need to be made clearer for clients if they are to explore wooden frames as an alternative. In many cases, it is the municipalities who get the less experienced clients to actually buy and build wooden framed houses, as in some places they require a wooden frame. Proposing a wooden framed building can also be a way of standing out from the crowd and thus gaining a landmark at the municipality. The influence of municipalities on companies’ choice of frame is something that the authors think should be researched further. Overall, it appears that there is a fairly positive view of wooden frames from the clients’ perspective, mainly regarding environmental aspects. However, it is not yet enough for the clients who are less experienced with wooden frames to willingly try it, as their knowledge of it is lacking and the fact that it has not proven to have cost advantages in all situations.

Full textPrefabrication of wood wall elements in construction of villas and terraced houses is a building method undergoing growth in recent decades. Cost efficiency is often cited as a reason why prefabrication has undergone such a large growth. At the same time, the issue of environmental impact and climate change has grown. As the construction sector accounts for a large part of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions, the construction sector needs to become more sustainable. This thesis has examined this cost-effectiveness and if it is possible to combine with environmental sustainability. To examine this more thoroughly a comparison is made with in site-built timber-framed constructed walls. The thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Skidstahus, which produces prefabricated wall elements in a factory environment, especially for data collection. Information and data have also been collected from Varbergshus / Derome producing houses in site-built timber-framed building. A cost comparison of the building methods shows that the prefabricated wall elements manufactured by Skidstahus are more cost-effective, which can be linked to work efficiency. To some extent, the thesis also shows that material use can be optimized at Skidstahus production and therefore results in less waste, which thus reduces environmental impact. Other important factors for durability and accounted life span is the building method’s ability to handle migration of moisture and airtightness. The thesis shows that prefabricated walls have challenges, as joints and connections must be well designed. At the same time, factory production allows an environment which can reduce risk of migration of moisture as it provides protection for climate and weather impact. Another aspect is that it provides a good and well-tempered work environment for the construction worker. On the other hand, it is questionable whether the use of prefabricated wall elements affects the environment as it may increase the need of transportation in relation to on site-built timber-framed walls, as transport to and from the factory is required. In addition, the prefabricated method could influence how design and architecture is carried out while a wood house made from stick timber is more easily modified. In summary, the analysis show that the use of prefabricated wood wall elements reduces building costs while at the same time it can contribute to environmental sustainability. However, further studies are required to compare the estimated life span of the two compared building methods.

Knock-Down House is a kind of temporary building which has different types for purpose and quality. Recently, the disasters are frequent, because of that, the settle is a big lesson we need to learn. At the 921 earthquake and the 88 disaster, the knock-down house is very important for using. Not only use at disaster also can use at temporary engineering office. In recent years, because of the environmental consciousness rising, the materials utilization and recycling are more seriously. The knock-down house which that temporarily、urgently、materials recycle and system fabrication are all the main keys. The procedure of building the knock-down house will point on the house’s covering and skeleton, those also the whole system’s element of main organization. This research will by construction to know the knock-down house how to building and by the plan return to original state and the investigation report, we can know that the knock-down house construction、 the material use and the programming and the joint way. By the case investigation, effecting the recycle is the construction design, considered after demolishing knock-down house about the construction’s consume and joint that discussing three cases of material recycle and reuse. Bring up the suit way to decompose knock-down house and compare with different cases and discussion the reason effect knock-down house of the recycle, reuse and proposes its countermeasures. At general situation, the knock-down house of reusing at construction are not the certain use countermeasures, the main problem is not have the way to recycle when the knock-down house was demolished and the main reason to effect the reuse is recycle’s situation. By this research, we have five points for how to promote the constructive effect on the knock-down house. 1. When demolishing the knock-down house, according to opposite fabricate way and have procedure to demolish it. Has the step and plan to demolish it, we can control the construction, use behavior and joint way. By this way we can assumed that material recycle and classification of consumes the degree in advance, it can reach the better recycle level. 2. Using the demolish tools, like bolt-trigger, screw-electric drill, gun nail-nail extractor, welding-cutter. Building and demolishing use the same tool can reduce the material’s consumes degree, when demolishing choose a right tool will affect the consumes degree, also affect recycle and reuse level. In opposition, it will spend more time. 3. The knock-down house after demolition will recycle by factory owner; they will repair and regulate it. The factory have space to put aside, it can make the material has better management. Also can recycle by the company of demolition project which can classification the material and reach the best management. 4. When joint the construction, the different way is the main point to affect the reuse’s factor. Use the same material can increase the compatibility when the joint, like doors, windows and walls, if those use the same material, not only easy to fabricate also easy to control the time. 5. Unified the standardized size, although the material has the same size design, but same construction use different size will reduce the compatibility. Unify 1K’s span and wall size; in general size is 90*180cm (3*6m) to match the 1K=183cm is the better size. This way for construction is effectiveness and has elasticity; it is not easy to destroy the wall.

Energy and environmental awareness increase in recent years. The defect of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with the current needs of the environment have been proposed, including construction materials difficult to recycle, the construction of the building quality difficult to control and adaptive quality of the living subject, etc. While the foreign advanced countries, the light-gauge steel-framed (LGS) construction engineering method is one of the current high-profile construction methods, especially in light weight, great strength and easy processing. Advanced countries are now actively promoting the "resource saving, low energy consumption, low pollution, reusable" indicators, while LGS construction engineering methods are consistent with its nature. LGS structure through the wall of the air layer can prevent the indoor heating temperature. Through good way of shading and wall insulation and air layer can also be isolated the outdoor heat air and maintain comfortable indoor temperature. This study was to explore the LGS indoor thermal environment and energy consumption, by building long-term monitoring measurements and heat flow simulation to verify and to discuss the developing in Taiwan. This research compares LGS and RC building by way of building long-term monitoring measurements in the indoor environment. The study set up a 3D CAD model of building construction and use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the thermal analysis simulation software “CFDesign”. Discuss its relationship with energy consumption, and the development of LGS construction in Taiwan. LGS and RC building long-term monitoring and measurement of indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, by the monitoring results can be found LGS average indoor temperature than the RC indoor temperature low 2-3 ℃, the LGS architectural engineering methods to maintain indoor comfort with the features. LGS use air conditioners frequency will decrease in summer, reduce power consumption. LGS average indoor humidity than the RC indoor humidity low 20%. The humidity average 40% -50% is effective and comfortable. The long term monitoring results found that the use of LGS building construction method does improve comfort, and effective for energy saving function. And the use of CFDesign heat flow simulation results correspond with monitoring results.

Taipei, being the political and economic stronghold during the Japanese governance, has seen many official residences and community residential developments being erected around the parameters of the city in succession, that began from the inner city expanding toward the south, east and north sides of the city parameters before eventually extending eastward. As a result, the distribution of Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures has been grown along the timeline of its urban development plans, and noticeably among them is how the subtle changes in the erection of residential development policy , Taiwan’s geographical and climatic studies have evoled into varied configurations .A key point in the study’s analogy has been to focus on the residential structure-styles and subtle changes during the Japanese-colonial period, and the changes of excuse on Japanese-styled houses to build conservation, study, use, reborn, for the basic data. Among this study contents were discussed to remain Japanese-styled houses and it’s background, and subtle changes, on the influence of the geography and climate, it’s including termite-suffering, heat-suffering, earthquake-suffering, to the disaster-proof plans, which were appeared on residential structure’s investigation. Therefore, with the process study Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures, for the purposes of: 1) Ascertaining the locale and year that Taipei’s Japanese-styled houses were built: Comparison of the urban development plans to the city maps has been adopted to decipher the locale and year the Japanese-styled houses were erected responding to abnormal shifts in population growth. 2) Deciphering factors that determine the configuration of residential architecture during the Japanese governance: The background behind the official residence system and private residential development policy, and the impact of the geography and climate are profiled to map out a theory on structural changes that occured in the Japanese-styled houses. 3) Pertinent analysis sought to profile the fundamental building model for Japan’s Japanese-styled houses by mirroring the empirical Japanese-styled houses of the Meiji period to the architectural drawings and specifications used for building official residences and official housings in Taiwan during Japanese-colonial period. 4) A census survey and analysis on Taipei’s remaining Japanese-styled houses. 5) The background and practical cases are compared and analyzed in this study. The study analysis revealed that Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures have been of the influnce on official residence system and residential development policy, and Taiwan’s geographical and climatic studies, became the process of the changes in structure-styles were on the differential period. For the reason, Taipei’s Japanese-styled houses were appeared to termite-proof concrete , brickwork’s foundation, weather-boarding, Gi-Shi styled wall. Then, Ji-Dong styled roof were appeared to heat-proof’s open-hole in roof-framed structures, and the other original Gie-Gi styled roof, Ru-Mu-Wu styled roof, Wafuku-styled roofing frames, Westward roofing frames, which were different to changes of construction. Therefore, the residential structures have appeared to varied configuration during Japanese colonial period. Keywords: Japanese-styled houses, termite-proof structure, heat-proof structure, shock-proof structure.
