Horizon 2020 funded project BERTIM has developed a methodology for renovation of buildings using prefabricated timber panels that are fixed to the facade. The panels integrate insulation and renewable energy systems. How it works?
The existing building is first scanned with a 3D scanner that creates point data to import into a Building Information Modelling (BIM) software which designs the panels for the renovation. The finished panel design is then sent from the BIM model to an automated timber factory that makes the panels.
This systemic methodology will enable reduction of renovation operation time, customized mass production, and lower financial risk for investors.
