Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

At the end of 2020, the Swedish precast concrete manufacturer Torps Byggelement AB was commissioned to produce the precast concrete elements (mainly sandwich construction) for the ambitious passive house project Paradise School in Älmhult, Sweden. The new school building is designed for forms 1 - 6, or 800 students. The building area amounts to approx. 8,500 m² of usable space plus a sports hall with over 3,000 m². Since the building complex was to meet the passive standard, it was extremely important to make the building envelope as efficient as possible in terms of insulation, without having to compromise on the very vivid architecture in this respect. In its search for efficient construction methods and products, Torps Byggelement AB came across the ThermoPin® from BT innovation.
