en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Innovation and Trade of the Valencian Community in Spain, through Ivace+i Innovación, is funding the Eco-Module project to promote the development of prefabricated modules for construction, designed with a focus on more sustainable material use, lightweight construction, customizability, and modular configuration.
The goal of this initiative is to simplify installation and civil engineering works using prefabricated components, creating versatile spaces in residential, commercial, industrial, and tertiary sectors. The system design follows the principles of the circular economy and carbon footprint reduction, aligning with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.
The Eco-Module project is coordinated by Idelab Ingeniería, with partners including Prefabricados Villalonga and Previcor. The project also receives financial support from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) Valencian Community 2021-2027 program.
In terms of concrete formulation, the project aligns with a research direction in the construction industry: finding new formulations to reduce cement usage, or replacing cement with materials that have a lower environmental impact without compromising technical performance. Researchers are also working to reduce or eliminate the use of aggregates and cement in the manufacturing process of prefabricated concrete, promoting construction solutions that reduce consumption of conventional raw materials and lower environmental footprint.
The technical team has also studied new forms of prefabricated components to enhance building flexibility and modularity. Analysis criteria include efficient transportation through better utilization of available space, as well as ease of on-site installation.
The Eco-Module project also considers compatibility with BIM (Building Information Modeling) standards. This condition is seen as essential for integrating the product into digital design, planning, and execution processes, facilitating its promotion and sale in international markets.
The project also includes an analysis of the scalability of the obtained formulations, an assessment crucial for verifying whether the solutions can proceed to the next stage of industrial manufacturing and for marketing new products in domestic and international markets.
