The Penitenzieria, is the name of the building, which was built with a support structure made of laminated wood, insulated with Expanded Insulation Corkboard Corkpan and finished with external elements in OSB produced in Piedmont in one of the most important panels production facilities in Europe.
The building, a prototype of sustainable architecture - ECO Home TM - was based on the ITACA Protocol, thanks to the technical collaboration of iiSBE Italy, and will stay three months in San Giovanni Square during which it will be monitored for energy consumption thanks to collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino.
The Expanded Insulation Corkboard - Corkpan
The Expanded Insulation Corkboard Corkpan was used in the roof with 100 mm thick boards, between the timber structure studs with a thickness of 60mm and with 40mm thick boards outside on which ventilated façade is supported.
The building entrance is lined with MD facade to emphasize the sustainable eco philosophy that characterizes the whole project.
