Week 10 [25.05 - 31.05] Revolution in building technology - System 3E

System 3E
These days there are plenty of companies which are specialized in building houses. The competition between them is huge. To get the most attractive orders, they have to stand out from the crowd. According to research we can find out that, nowadays people spend more money on investment in their life quality. They would rather pay more and get better result rather than choose the cheapest version. Here one of the solution to become the biggest is an innovative methods. Polish company System 3E comes across the expectations of people.


System 3E is a technology of building houses with perlit. It is an energy-saving and ecological raw material which is used to build walls. It is also very economic, but there are more advantages of building with our polish technology. 
First of all, as we all know the average time of building a house in traditional way is 24 months. The company says that with them, we can build all house in 3-6 months. The difference in time is huge. 
Secondly, building with System 3E doesn’t require an external warming. We can save on it extra 15 000 zl. 


Some specialists says that the easiest way to visualize it is to compare to Lego bricks. Moreover the author says that the environment of perlit can isolate the house from loud noises and secure good thermal isolation.
System 3E has a global patent for their technology. 
Thank you for your attention.

Comments

1. I have not heard about this solution or the company. I have heard about many other solutions reducing costs and construction time, but above all more ecological. It seems that in the future we will use completely different materials for building houses.
2. I think that I would definitely opt for more modern solutions than those currently used. If this material performs both a thermal and soundproof role, it seems to be worth considering.
3. I've heard about a house designed by Ikea workers, made of plywood. I once read an article about houses built of straw, bamboo land or hemp. These are interesting solutions, however, a lot depends on the climatic conditions of the place where we want to build a house.

1. I think this solution is interesting. You can build a house in a short period of time, and it is also energy-efficient. Energy-efficient and self-sufficient homes are our future. Currently, we are moving away from the traditional method, unless someone is able to build the house by himself. If we have money and don’t want to wait so long this is the perfect solution.

2. I would definitely consider this technology, unfortunately it has some disadvantages. The company provides a warranty of only 10 years, which is not a good indication of this construction technology. If I had to build a house, I would definitely choose fast, energy-saving technology with a long warranty period.

3. I know that some people build houses made of clay, it must be a special type, you can build yourself and the costs of this investment are low, I have heard about several such houses built in Poland. I have also heard about people building glass houses. I don't think this is the right material for building a house.

1. What do think about this modern solution of building?

That's what I heard about this technology. The experts don't have a good opinion of this technology. What's the difference between this and the aerated concrete blocks that have been available for a long time? They are lightweight, quick to set up and easy to work with, have good insulation properties and so on. Especially since erecting walls is one of many elements of building a house, not the most difficult, nor the most time consuming. My colleague built the walls himself and it took him a few days. He had the greatest difficulty in building stairs and ceilings. These blocks won't help. This manufacturer and technology used to be called HCH but people didn't trust it and the company fell. I see they're taking off with a new sign now. I'm not saying it's bad technology but a lot of people don't trust it and it would have to be a lot cheaper for people to decide on it.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?

No. This technology is too expensive and the building would still need to be insulated in case of our climate zone. In case of insulating such a block there is a problem of double layer of insulation. The result is condensation inside the walls and the formation of mould.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?

In my opinion, the most interesting is the use of prestressing tie rod. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264935451_Recent_Technology_of_Prestressed_Concrete_Bridges_in_Japan

1. What do think about this modern solution of building?
Construction is evolving, like everything else
2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?
Perhaps. I would need to conduct my own study on the available solutions.
3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?
No, I am not that into construction and arcitecture

1. What do think about this modern solution of building?

Intriguing and worth attention. Like any innovative solution criticized or praised. In the eighties, building Canadian-style houses was also unheard of.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?

I wouldn't take this into consideration at the moment. I think it's too early. We don't know how it works on very windy days. Heaps of snow. We live and live in a temperate climate.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?

Currently, the most interesting, tested and used is the skeleton. Sam has a house built in this technology and I'm curious how it will work. Recently, it was a big news.

1. I'm not sure what to think about this technology. It sounds nice and all, but why would I want to chose it over traditional building? Time, which you mentioned as one of reasons, isn't legit, since you can build a house in traditional way in short period. It's all about keeping proper conditions... My parents house was built in less than half year for sure and it doesn't have problems or malfunctions. Quite opposite. So another reason - saving on external warming. I don't know this product cost, but will it always be cheaper option? I mean, if we sum up building house in traditional house, with everything included and put this system for comparison will it really be cheaper? Or similar? Or maybe even more expensive, because we save on external warming, but have to pay more for other things. Being eco doesn't interest me at all so it's not even point worth mentioning.

2. No. I probably wouldn't consider it even for a while.

3. I'm not sure if we can consider it 'real building', but Lego houses :). I'm not recommending it to anyone though, it's just source of fun and nothing more.

1. For decades, you can build a wooden house even in 2 weeks, and a brick house in 2 months. It all depends on the construction team and their skills. When it comes to ecology and added value of perlit, there is nothing else but to congratulate the idea for the company. Great solutions for saving energy and money!

2. If I were to build a house, I would put up the simplest construction, simple roof, one-story house with an area of about 150 sqm. I would not use any innovations there, I would just go for classic construction.

3. No, I do not know other innovations in house construction.
1 / This is an excellent and innovative solution to this problem. At all times there were questions regarding the decision to build buildings. And I think they came to the right conclusion.

2 / I think I would use a different method ... But I have not thought about this issue yet, so I can’t be sure of it.

3 / No, I do not ask for any new technologies, but I remember I was very amazed when I saw how they build buildings on the water.

1. I hear about it for the first time, and it doesn’t speak to me. I think that this system does not seem very solid, especially after comparing it to Lego.
2. Definitely not and it doesn’t matter that it is cheaper.
3. I’m not interested in this topic, so I don’t know other methods of building.

1. What do think about this modern solution of building?
I really do not care for it. It's interesting but I like traditional methods and would like to build a house by myself from the ground up.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?
No, because like I said - I like old, traditional houses that are build by real people and it comes from the heart. This system does seem to be saving a lot of time but houses build that way are in my opinion soulless.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?
I don't because I am not interested in owning a house at this time.
1. What do think about this modern solution of building?
Good like any other, I like Lego, so this is pretty good idea for me
2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider building it using this technology?
Why not, it's always a good idea to save 15,000 and additionally also save time on construction
3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?
I don’t know too much about building methods because I’m not too interested in this topic but I heard about one interesting methods of building it was 3d printing of the houses this is still something of a novelty and are largely still in development but these homes are safe, built to last, and customized to the specifications of the families.
1. What do think about this modern solution of building?
I did not heard about this before but i think it is quite interesting. It is also nice to see that this is a polish company.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?
I think the cheaper and faster way is to buy already builded house. Anyway if i would like to build house i would read more about other technologies to find the best sollution.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?
No i didn't read about it too much before.

1. What do think about this modern solution of building?

I’ve read a few articles about passive houses and I must say that I like it. There are companies that are able to build your house in a few days. Solace is of these companies, their house is plus-energetic additionally. What’s more you don’t need an official permission to build such house. It’s quite small, comparing to other regular houses but I like it’s style and it can be much cheaper than a flat in Warsaw.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?

Yes, I would.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?

Solace is made of wood with PV panels on the roof. Everything is shipped in a single container and the whole building process takes couple of days.

1. I haven’t heard about this technology before. It’s good that people still try to improve building methods or create completely new. World is changing and our houses should also be more modern and eco-friendly. This technology sounds really interesting, shorter time of building and possibility to save some money is tempting but on the other hand, it probably, as everything, also has some bad points.

2. It depends. I like innovative ideas but I would need much more information about this technology and how it works in practice. New technologies are usually uncertain until some people try it and observe their pros and cons during years of using. Building house is a huge financial investment. I wouldn’t like to regret, after a year of living in my dream house, that I made a bad choice because I believed optimistic promises.

3. I’m not very interested in this topic so I don’t know any interesting methods. I’ve only heard about houses which all elements are made in factory and then they are only assembled on the building plot.
1. What do think about this modern solution of building?

It's great as any kind of invetions like this becouse it can make building buildings cheaper and faster

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?

Probably I would chose more trusted technologies but if some kind of specialist would show me more detials - perhaps

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?

To be honest it's not my cup of tea
1. What do think about this modern solution of building?
Unfortunately, I have never heard about this before but I think it is really interesting. In my point of view, evolution of new building technology and experiments with them will be developed very fast because of increasing amount of fresh materials.

2. If you are going to build a house, would you consider to build it using this technology?
I'm not sure, maybe I would consider this. In general, I prefer old-fashioned type of building, particularly wooden ones.

3. Do you know any others interesting methods of building?
I don't know any other interesting methods of building. I'm not into this, so I know only some of ancient types like from Grece or Rome and traditional japanese houses. If you want to become familiar with the last one I can recommend the book "In praise of shadows" of Junichiro Tanizaki.
Thank you for your comment. I have never heard about IKEA making houses of plywood. It is really interesting idea.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr
