With the arrival of spring, whoever starts the most who starts to prepare their balconies and terraces that hopefully spend more time in them. That in the event that an outdoor space is available in the house, because there are many houses in our villages and towns that have no balconies or terraces. If I think of them all, a group of Basque companies under the leadership of Tecnalia has developed a solution Sustainable and fast. It’s called Balin and it’s a balcony modular and industrialized; That is, composed of modules built in a factory.
The imprisonment that the COVID-19 Pandemie entailed arose the need to have external spaces in our houses for good quality of life. As a result, the Basque government approved a decree in 2022 in which the standards for housing design are regulated.
It introduces the concept of “outdoor space” as an element of the minimum housing program, and that is indicated that It must have an area of at least 4 square meters. It also promotes the construction of balconies, for example descriptive for calculating buildingability in the lifetime of the donation, the first 10 square meters of the terraces are not taken into account.
The group of companies that Balin has developed is based on this regulation. In the words of Jesus ISird, head of smart construction of technical, modularity and industrialization generate Different benefits. The most important thing is that when built in a factory, in a controlled environment, Costs and time are reduced.
Another goal of this project is Promote sustainability In the construction sector. The modularity of the balcony opens the doors in front, making Balin a balcony Active and sustainable.
This balcony designed and built in Euskal Herria is Ideal for constructions with a concrete structure of the 60s and 70s. With regard to the design, even if the structure is metal, it can be adjusted Almost every type of facade For the diversity of materials in the finish, such as wood or glass.
The Research and Development Center Tecnalia has led this project in which they participated Commend Zabalandi structures such as installation program, Gorlan workshops such as the structure of the structure, dominating the renewable energy modules and ETXESoft that the Software Energy Manager has carried out. IDK has also participated in his electronic systems.
