Green homes

For any Rubner project, even large ones: on-show wooden finishing details for both inside and outside or plastered
walls. Designers and architects are showing increasing interest in this kind of building thanks to its total design
freedom and multiple creative configurations.

Wood boasts low heat conduction and high thermal inertia. This translates into lower consumption for both winter heating and summer cooling. The surface temperature of wooden walls stays the same as that of the air, not irradiating cold air in the winter like masonry walls do and exploiting the thermal inertia of wood in summer. Performance is guaranteed by the perfect insulation of Rubner structures, where wood teams up with natural materials like hemp, wood fibre, cork and straw for a very high heat yield at very low thicknesses. Therefore less weight for the structure and more flexibility in the event of earthquakes) and increased living space.
