Abstract

This article describes the design and analysis process of a cassette-type system registered under the name "walluminium." This system consists of an extruded aluminum panel for facades and roofs, offering a good balance between industrialization and adaptability. The panel serves three functions: it is structural as it forms load-bearing walls, functions as a ventilated roof and facade, and acts as a solar collector. This study analyzed the system's precursors, an initial design tested in a construction prototype, and an optimized design patented in 2020. As a result, the viability of the panel's triple function was demonstrated, providing an interesting alternative for modular housing construction. The construction system has been certified as a Passivhaus component and is being used as an industrialized construction system that eliminates uncertainties in passive house construction.
