FabLab House research team has chosen BKN system as the house insulation material. BKN (BIOKLIMA NATURE) System insulation is made out of 100% natural and renewable, such as dried grass and wool. It is also flexible so that fits perfect for the house curvy surface.
BKN System: AislaNat and BinaYut
Marta Galvéz (Bioklimanature), Ricardo Zaldivar, César Daoud, Daisuke Nagatomo (Solar House), and Benom Juarez (FabLab) discuss about the BKN System
Testing with 1:1 mock-up
Joseph Lluis Puig from Giscosa, one of Solar/FabLab House partners, came to IaaC to demonstrate Giscosa’s EPDM on full scale mock-up. The waterproof membrane is reinforced by glass fiber and perfect suits for the curved surface of the house.
