Multi-storey timber buildings up to 22.5 m high can already be built in the Czech Republic
We are pleased to inform that in the Czech Republic it is now possible to construct buildings with a structural system made of timber up to a fire height of 22.5 metres using the so-called engineering method. The use for timber buildings was confirmed on the basis of a joint expert opinion of the institutions concerned (Fire Brigade, ČAS and UCEEB ČVUT) published at the end of last year in the Bulletin of the Office for Technical Standardization, Metrology and State Testing. A systematic amendment of the relevant standards should take place in the first half of next year. Until recently, contemporary legislation in the Czech Republic prevented the development of ecological multi-storey timber buildings.
Timber Praha four-story apartment buildings in MČ Praha - Řeporyje are equipped with energy-saving technologies such as heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, geothermal wells, external blinds on windows, underfloor heating that not only heats but also cools in summer and Smart home systems.
