VBC choisit MAESTRO SMART 9 HP

Volumetric Building Companies (VBC), un leader mondial dans le secteur de la construction qui se concentre sur la construction de l'avenir grâce à des techniques modulaires volumétriques, a choisi la thermopompe Maestro Smart 9 comme solution de confort idéale pour chauffer et climatiser son projet d'habitation modulaire à Philadelphie, en Pennsylvanie, composé de 60 unités d'habitation modulaire. L'unité Maestro d'Olimpia Splendid a été couplée à des grilles rectangulaires sur mesure (PN : B1026) qui ont été peintes en 3 couleurs différentes pour s'harmoniser avec l'extérieur de l'habitation. De plus, Olimpia Splendid a proposé à VBC de remplacer ses commandes par le thermostat Venstar Color Touch (PN:B1023), ce qui permet un contrôle optimal du confort.

Le segment des habitations modulaires est l'application idéale où l'équipement de la série Maestro permet d'obtenir un "bel extérieur" sans unité extérieure et un "intérieur confortable" avec un design Made in Italy.

Olimpia Splendid USA est heureux de présenter le NOUVEAU design Maestro Smart, qui sera disponible et en stock à partir de la première semaine de septembre à la fois dans l'entrepôt de Fair Lawn, NJ, et dans notre nouvel entrepôt de Tacoma, WA. Les performances resteront les mêmes, puisqu'il s'agit simplement d'un changement de conception de l'armoire avant. Les fiches techniques du nouveau modèle sont disponibles dès maintenant.

Mind the Gap: The Interface Between Onsite and Offsite Construction

Every design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) project — modular, mass timber, or panelized — is really two projects joined at a seam. One is built in a controlled factory to millimeter tolerances; the other in the field, in weather, to the looser tolerances of poured concrete and human hands. Between them sits an interface: where the factory’s precision meets the site’s reality.

Rules, Rails & Repeatability: Applying DfMA to Modular Healthcare

DfMA offers several advantages for healthcare projects, with faster delivery among the most valuable. Schedule matters when building new facilities, expanding campuses, renovating existing space or bringing care closer to communities that need it.

Precision and Possibility: Demands of DfMA and What Modular Mass Timber Makes Possible

Mass timber does not automatically create an efficient modular building. Its precision makes early coordination more important: fabricated components will accurately reproduce both the team’s solutions and its mistakes. The material’s advantages are realized only when supported by an equally precise design and delivery process.

Catch It in the Factory, Not in the Field: Smarter Testing for Modular Builds

Integrating watertightness and airtightness testing into factory workflows transforms quality assurance from a reactive process into a proactive commissioning strategy. It ensures that every module shipped is field ready and resilient for transportation while also supporting the ability of the modular construction industry to make buildings better.

Modular Construction Contracts: Key Considerations for Successful Canadian Projects

Starting a modular project with a well-developed contract protects both the owner and the contractor. It will help keep the project on track and on budget, and it will improve quality from the factory floor to final installation on-site.

Modular by Design: Turning Architecture into a Manufacturing System

Modular construction is often presented as a faster way to build. Speed, however, is only one part of its value. The larger opportunity is to create a coordinated design and production system that improves quality, reduces uncertainty, and allows a building to move efficiently from concept design through manufacturing, transportation, installation, and completion.

Repeatability Begins with Trust: What Alora at Dry Creek Reveals About Scaling Modular Housing

Alora at Dry Creek, a 329-unit, multifamily community comprising five four-story buildings in Centennial, Colorado, demonstrates how repeatable design, standardized manufacturing and early collaboration can work together to create a model that is not only faster to deliver, but easier to replicate across future projects.

T.R. Arnold: The Art of Third-Party Inspections

T.R. Arnold (TRA), a third-party inspection company in Elkhart, Indiana, contracts with modular manufacturers across the US. Manufacturers register with each state to which they intend to send their modules and may be required to hire a third-party inspection company.

Creating an ‘Ecosystem for Innovation:’ 50+ Years of Modular Construction Oversight in Virginia

Virginia’s modular building program began in 1973, with the implementation of the Virginia Industrialized Building Unit and Mobile Home Safety Regulations. Now it’s leading the country in modular code adoption.

Understanding Thermal Barriers Compliance Methods & Emerging NFPA-275 Foam Plastic Technologies

New fire barrier technologies are improving total costs and margins in major areas of construction, such as commercial, government, union and prevailing wage projects. These benefits translate into other large fringe areas, such as agriculture, commercial cold storage facilities, grow houses, outbuildings, military and aviation hangars.
