#8 Prefab, Integrated Wall Systems – Scoping Study
This project seeked to design a high-performance wall system exceeding the performance of a 7-star dwelling, with window systems that can be manufactured in two weeks and wall systems that can assembled on-site (lockup stage) in four weeks, and can be manufactured, delivered and installed in a cost-effective manner.
The initial phase consisted of a technology review and scoping exercise that lead a detailed design phase and a manufacturing systems design phase.
