TY - JOUR TI - Prefabrication as the construction system of passive house – cost issues AU - Kofiński, Marcin AU - Leśniak, Agnieszka TI - Prefabrication as the construction system of passive house – cost issues AB - As a response to the growing need for cheaper and more energy-efficient buildings, this paper presents a building system based on a heavy timber frame. The cost analysis to build a wall which meets the requirements for a passive building concludes that a prefabricated heavy timber frame is at the forefront of cost minimization. The recognized advantages of prefabrication can prove that this method of constructing single-family homes, with a positive impact on temperature and humidity, may become an alternative to existing technologies.
