On 9th December 2011, PRISPA took part in the 3rd edition of the DULGHER® Conference which took place in Brașov. The invitation came from Mr. Michael Holdreich, general manager of Euro-Hold Company and the organizer of the past two editions of this conference.
During the conference, the latest technologies and building materials for the timber based buildings were presented. The audience contained the sparkling selection of renderers, engineers and architects whose area of work and expertise is the wood industry.A number of Romanian companies that produce prefabricated wooden houses were also represented there.
On behalf of PRISPA team, Marius Șoflete (Structural Engineer), Adrian Pop (Fundraising Coordinator), Octavian Timu (Health and Safety Officer), Cătălin Caraza (Construction Manager), Dumitru Moldoveanu (Site Operations Coordinator) and Ioana Prodan (Student Architect) were present there.
Taking into account the audience of the conference, our presentation brought under public scrutiny the technical solutions for the wood based structure of our house. After the presentation, there was a 30 minute session of discussions about our proposal for the Solar Decathlon Europe 2012 competition. There were many questions concerning the transport of the house and the panels joining method, as well as about the fire protection of the wood elements. In addition, the audience showed great interest in the insulation layer and the ways of natural wood treatment we use. Needless to say, we got a lot of good and useful feed-back.
During the coffee break we had the chance to interact with the participants. We exchanged contacts and opinions and we shared ideas and solutions about low energy consumption houses. The people love our enthusiasm about the project and they are willing to support us as well as they can.
We left Brașov with a good feeling that we are getting even closer to building our house.
