The development of high performance building modules can help to enhance the quality of the life of the occupants in a densely populated housing location.
IDEALLY:
Home is a place that provides comfort for the occupants; it’s a place that closely relate to everyone’s daily life.
Home is a place for the younger generation to grow up and the older generation to retire, therefore, the health of the living environment is a crucial factor.
Home is a place that everyone is willing to go back to either to spent their time alone or with the family.
BUT:
If you can never see the natural daylight or feel the natural breeze from the outside, will you be willing to go back to such a place after work?
Social environments, the neighbors, are important to our everyday life, but conflicts will start when there is no personal space or privacy inside high density housing.
For many others, there is no choice but to stay in their house for most time of the day, so, it is important to have healthy living condition provide by the built environment.
THEREFORE:
Development of high performance module can help to set a universal framework for high performance housing.
The building module can be made with pre-fabrication technique as a basic framework that allows variation applications for different climates, orientations and regions.
Too many pre-fabricated housing modules did not take into consideration of site-specific or culture context.
The framework of the module itself should be universal, but the modules will start to vary based on the context for each specific application.
The high performance housings should not only provide comfort and quality of life to the occupants, but also become part of the larger sustainable built environment.
Quality of living condition and high performance housing should be a common standard for everyone in everyone location.
