Insulated panel construction system : EVG 3D

Abstract

The insulated panel construction system EVG-3D was introduced in Malta as a new alternative construction. It consists in a modular panel system with three dimensional welded wire space frame fitted with an expanded polystyrene insulation core. Concrete layers are applied on site to either side of the panel. The system is intended to address building sustainability, resource efficiency, energy efficiency, economic and efficient construction and health and safety issues in construction. The system presents various advantages with regards construction time, labour and cost efficiency. The system also allows for flexibility in design and adaptation to the specific needs; it has been used effectively in new buildings and also in extensions to existing structures.
