Today’s General Manager of CasaPor GmbH, Civil Engineer Bernhard Heming, as co-owner of the engineering office Heming & Meckmann, was commissioned in 2008 to determine the South American market situation.
It quickly became clear that conventional construction – stone on stone on the construction site – is unsuitable for sustainable construction under very adverse climatic conditions.
At the same time it became noticeable that assembly line work (in the hall) works in a similar way as in Germany, where the engineering office Heming & Meckmann has been producing structural engineering for the automotive and aerospace industry (assembly line) for years.
The idea of building houses on an assembly line was born.
- CasaPor follows the straw barn effect: the CasaPor – climate concrete reduces the humidity like straw and thus reduces the sensed heat – in winter this effect turns around – the age-old principle of air conditioning.
- Different to conventional modular construction methods we do not need a vapor barrier or a ventilation system or a humidification system with the well-known negative consequences.
- In combination, CasaPor’s climate, heat, sound and fire protection properties surpass those of conventional construction, which have been better than modular construction in this respect.
- The recipe of the CasaPor – Klimabeton was researched in cooperation with the University of Stuttgart and offers the desired, high quality of life.
- Its moisture-balancing quality makes ventilation systems dispensable and offers a pleasant and natural indoor climate without building moisture, without vapor barriers and without ventilation and air conditioning systems.
- The nature of the material makes additional activities superfluous. The concrete is alive – it absorbs moisture and releases it again with a time delay.
