Detailed Methodology & Execution Scope
Set a project-specific brief
Year-round living, summer comfort, noise separation and indoor air quality involve different but related design questions. The brief records agreed targets and their assessment method. Apartments require attention to separation between dwellings and common areas; detached homes may have a different exposure, glazing and ventilation strategy.
Review the details that connect systems
Insulation, membranes, openings and module joints need to work together. The service can coordinate thermal-bridge and moisture reviews, acoustic interfaces, fire-related junctions and ventilation assumptions. Specialist calculations or tests are commissioned as defined in the proposal, rather than assumed to be covered by a generic material certificate.
Keep evidence traceable
The performance file distinguishes design intent, calculated results, product declarations and tested assemblies. When a material, junction or building arrangement changes, the effect on the supporting evidence must be reviewed. This gives the client and local team a clear basis for decisions without promising an unverified whole-building rating.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Service
Can modular homes reach Passive House or KfW 40 standards?
Yes. By precision air sealing and thick continuous insulation in the factory, SERMODULA systems comfortably exceed KfW 40 standards.
How is acoustic privacy between adjacent modular units ensured?
Modular construction features an inherent double-wall and double-floor cavity with elastomeric acoustic decouplers, outperforming monolithic concrete.
