The construction industry is constantly evolving to introduce more energy efficient practices  and in recent years modular construction has refined to become one of the most effective methods for improving energy efficiency due to its wide-range of benefits. Unlike traditional on-site processes, modular construction provides flexible design options, allowing elements to be added, removed or reconfigured to meet changing needs or rapid expansion requirements. 

Projected to grow to $35865 million by 2030, modular construction will become more commonly used in the US than traditional methods. This fast growth is down to the benefits modular building offers, and the speed in which projects can be completed. 

It is essential that thermal bridging is addressed within these buildings because not only does it affect the energy performance, these buildings are also at risk of mold growth, condensation issues and deterioration of materials, ultimately compromising the structural integrity and indoor air quality of the building.

To combat this, it is imperative to incorporate a solution such as Armatherm’s FRR structural thermal breaks. They provide these buildings with a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength which is essential in structural steel framing to ensure maximum efficiency.

Whilst modular construction offers numerous benefits in terms of speed and sustainability, addressing thermal bridging is crucial to maximizing these advantages. Effective thermal breaks are essential in maintaining the energy performance of modular buildings, preventing heat loss, and avoiding condensation and material degradation. By incorporating robust thermal break solutions from Armatherm and ensuring quality design and installation practices, modular construction can continue to lead the way in delivering high-performance, energy-efficient buildings.
