22/26 Next Generation

[2022-2025]

Dr. Junghans collaborates with the German/Belgian architect Steven Schenk. The previously introduced 22/26 technology have been developed further and applied to other building projects. New approaches depend less on automation systems and improve human interaction and comfort. The new approaches are an outcome of extensive research work and experimental testing.  Patershoek Care Home, Belgium. The goal is to have an interaction between the construction material (hempcrete) and the localized ventilation system. The conventionally high-volume flow rates in a care home are reduced because of the integration hempcrete surfaces that controls the odor concentration in the rooms. Therefore, the maximal volume flow rate and therefore the energy demand is reduced.
