“…The general outline of the developed precast system comprises a composite sandwich panel of rectangular shape (700 mm x 700 mm) encompassing two lightly reinforced concrete wythes (C25/30) that embed a combustible thermal insulation layer (EPS) at their core [65]. The thickness of each wythe, as well as the thickness of the insulation encasement filling the cavity, correspond to 50 mm.…”

In view of the problem that the current evaluation of prefabricated buildings in China focuses more on the ‘assembly rate’, this paper puts forward a green assessment method suitable for prefabricated buildings in China, which determines the evaluation index system according to four aspects: green design, intelligent construction, assembled building quality and comprehensive benefit. In addition, the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory method is used to optimise the index weight, and then the analytic hierarchy process–entropy weight method is used to determine the weight of the index system, and the evaluation index set is quantified and graded. Finally, taking the Hutuo Village public rental housing project in Xi’an City of Shaanxi Province as an example, this paper uses the evaluation method to conduct a green assessment and gives suggestions for improvement in each stage of the project.

Prefabricated temporary buildings are a promising solution for post-disaster scenarios for their modularity, sustainability and transportation advantages. However, their low thermal mass building envelope shows a fast response to heat flux excitations. This leads to the risk of not meeting the occupant comfort and HVAC energy-saving requirements. The literature shows different measures implementable in opaque surfaces, like vacuum insulation panels (VIPs), phase change materials (PCMs) and switchable coatings, and in transparent surfaces (switchable glazing) to mitigate thermal issues, like overheating, while preserving the limited available internal space. This paper investigates the energy and overheating performance of the mentioned interventions by using building performance simulation tools to assess their effectiveness. The optimization also looks at the transportation flexibility of each intervention to better support the decision maker for manufacturing innovative temporary units. The most energy-efficient measures turn to be VIPs as a better energy solution for winter and PCMs as a better thermal comfort solution for summer.
