Mix 23 - February 2008
Mix 23 focuses on issues associated with the insulation of concrete structures for improved energy efficiency, with particular relevance to residential design and new provisions of the Building Code of Australia. It includes an example of a fully insulated concrete house designed by Atelier Bow-Wow in Tokyo; and recent approaches to ‘warm'and ‘cold' concrete in the design of two apartment buildings in the Victorian Alps by Salter Architects. Mixtips provides a case study of earth coupling thermal mass in a house designed for precast concrete panel construction with a concrete floor slab in Bethanga Victoria by tUG workshop. The specification guideline outlines the design of concrete roof slabs with the installation of green roof systems for energy efficiency and reduced heat transfer; followed by a survey of research initiatives which have emerged in these applications over the past 40 years.
