Wall and floor units for passive houses built “in a single cast”

For clients, construction contractors and precast producers alike, the Rapp Autark Haus® offers lucrative prospects due to its design and manufacture. The entire units are produced at the factory. The insulation layer is placed directly on the shuttering tables, and the concrete cast onto the insulation. This molding process results in savings in materials and work steps. Only the façade finishing (render, linings etc.) still needs to be completed on the site.

The energy and environmental policy requirements of our times have prompted the construction industry to thoroughly rethink its approach. Energy is becoming ever scarcer whilst environmental regulations are getting ever stricter. Who will be able to build the most cost-efficient house that requires a low amount of heating energy whilst complying with all relevant building regulations and comfort standards? Albert Bruno Rapp provides an answer to these challenges.

Since the early 1990s, the passive house concept has been gaining a foothold in the industry: effectively insulated buildings use the...
