Abstract

This project is a practise-oriented research collaboration between stakeholders, industry and academia, which sets out to investigate, how material choices and radical tectonic solutions can be drivers for sustainable change in design, industry and legislation. Fire safety as a part of the design solution is central when building with biogenic materials. As a point of departure, the project aims to develop new standards for co2-neutral biogenic materials in façade constructions as well as generating new combinations of materials, surface treatments, and construction solutions. The focus of the project is to develop and test new sustainable solutions for thatched vertical constructions. It aims to both have an environmentally low impact, have as ‘close-to-standard’ fire retardant properties and to be industrial scalable.
