Wall E+ A Glass-Reinforced Pultruded Composite-Building System

key features

Composites elements : facade and pultruded building profiles.

Why composites : composites were chosen for their lightweight and high strength, design flexibility, thermal and environmental efficiency, durability, longevity, sustainability, and ease of installation.
Weight
The lightweight design reduced material weight, simplifying transportation and installation. The high strength-to-weight ratio provided structural durability without adding bulk.
Cost
Construction time was reduced due to prefabrication and modularity, accelerating project timelines. Minimized thermal bridges eliminated common points of heat loss, leading to greater energy savings.
Strength
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Offers structural durability without adding bulk.
Durability
The building system demonstrated resistance to weather and fire, performing well under extreme conditions such as moisture and heat, with an REI 30 fire resistance rating.
Maintenance
The design supports circular and sustainable construction, focusing on modularity, reuse, and a reduced environmental impact.
LCA/Environmental Impact
The use of composites enhanced thermal insulation, providing superior energy efficiency with minimal material thickness.
Other
Fast and easy assembly was achieved through optimisation for off-site construction, requiring minimal on-site labour. The system integrated multifunctionality, accommodating solar panels, green walls, and other sustainable features. It also offered aesthetic and design versatility, enabling complex and modern architectural styles.
