EP3498929B1 - High-rise building module and building constructed from same - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a high-rise building module according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a building constructed with the aid of such building modules.

Generic building modules are from the EP 0 962 603 A1 known, which is considered to come closest to the state of the art, whereby at least two such modules can be connected to each other. In contrast to an older prior art, these building modules can be connected to one another in different ways.

From the DE 299 16 480 U1 is a cell in prefabricated known, which basically consists of concrete. However, at least one opening or recess is provided in a wall, floor or ceiling area, which is filled with a filler. This filler has a significantly lower specific mass than the base material. In this way, a room cell can be produced which, despite larger dimensions or wall thicknesses, has the lowest possible weight in order to be able to be transported on the road without any problems.

From the DE 1 901 007 A1 is a residential house known, which consists of several reinforced concrete units to allow a cheap, but still appropriate house construction.

Furthermore, non-generic building modules are known from practice, for example in the form of metallic containers that are assembled next to and possibly one above the other to form temporary buildings. Such temporary buildings are used, for example, as office buildings for site management on a construction site. A single building module can be used separately, comparable to a room within a conventionally built building.

Furthermore, it is known from practice to produce prefab garages with a tubular body made of concrete. First, a base plate is cast. After the concrete material of this floor slab has set, a formwork is mounted that allows the two side walls and the top of the tubular body to be poured. The prefabricated garages can be arranged side by side in the manner of a garage courtyard. The construction of buildings consisting of several prefabricated garages, with several floors in the form of garages one above the other, is not planned and also not possible due to the statics of the prefabricated garages.

Structures in civil engineering, for example pipelines of the sewage system, which are composed of individual segments each configured as a tubular body, are of a different type. The individual segments cannot be used separately, only the pipeline composed of all segments can be used.

The invention is based on the object of improving a generic high-rise building module in such a way that it enables a high quality of living and which is suitable for erecting buildings with more than three floors.

This object is achieved by a building module according to claim 1. A building that can be constructed from such building modules is described in claim 14. Advantageous configurations are described in the dependent claims.

In other words, the invention proposes not to create the cuboid housing of the building module from six individual panels, or from four separate panels that form a tubular body and from two additional end walls, and also not to use a frame construction as with the metal containers, which then serves to hold the six surfaces of the cuboid building module. Rather, according to the proposal, it is intended to create a monolithic tubular body that consists of a concrete material. With its tube walls, this elongated tubular body forms the floor, the ceiling and the two side walls of the building. In contrast to sewer structures laid in the ground, which are formed from individual tubular elements connected lengthwise, the proposed tubular body is used to erect a building erected above ground, which can be used as a residential building, storage room or machine room. The door and an optionally provided window of the building module are arranged in one or in both end walls.

Due to the monolithic construction of the tube body, a high stability of the building module is achieved. In contrast to separate, interconnected slabs made of the same concrete material, the statics are significantly better, so that not only two, but up to five floors of a larger building can be created by stacking a corresponding number of building modules on top of each other. In this way, considerably more people can be accommodated temporarily for a given floor space, which is also advantageous, for example, for the supply in disaster areas.

In contrast to the metallic construction, as is the case with containers used as building modules, the concrete material improves the room climate due to its higher storage capacity for moisture and heat inside the building module. According to the proposal, in particular a lightweight concrete is provided as the concrete material, so that the tubular body can be transported from the manufacturing plant to the installation site with as little effort as possible. In particular, such a transport can also take place without any problems if the building module is equipped as far as possible ready for operation, ie is equipped with appropriate built-in components. On the one hand, these installations relate to electrical and sanitary installation lines, and on the other hand to functional elements such as doors, windows, electrical sockets, lights, washbasins and sinks, toilets and showers.

Due to the horizontal production of the pipe body and the dead weight of the concrete material used, it automatically follows that the lower pipe wall of the pipe body is exposed to a higher hydrostatic pressure during production than the opposite upper pipe wall. Without further measures, when using the same concrete material throughout, it can automatically result that the concrete material in the lower pipe wall has a higher bulk density than in the upper pipe wall. The concrete material therefore has different concrete qualities in terms of different physical properties in these two opposite pipe walls.

This can be used as an advantage, for example, by not tilting the pipe body by 90° around its central axis, but rather by positioning it in such a way that its upper and lower pipe walls during production are also arranged at the top and bottom in the erected state, i.e. the floor and the ceiling of the building module. In this way, there is excellent sound insulation between two building modules arranged one above the other, since the different qualities of the concrete material have different acoustic damping properties and are similar to the combination complement a low-pass filter with a high-pass filter.

Reinforcing steel can be arranged within the concrete material in a manner known per se to improve the mechanical stability of the monolithic tubular body. Alternatively, it can be provided that fibers are added to the concrete material as aggregate, for example glass fibers, which are arranged in the concrete material as random fibers in an undirected manner. Such fibers can also be used, for example, to make mechanical attacks on the tubular body - such as a through hole - more difficult.

The living quality inside the building module can be improved in particular by not using watertight or self-compacting concrete, but rather a concrete material that contains pores. In addition, particles of a porous mineral material are distributed in this concrete material. This porous mineral material not only supports the design of the concrete material as lightweight concrete, but in particular also enables a climate-regulating effect: If expanded clay is used as such a material, for example, expanded clay particles located inside the concrete material are also connected to the interior of the concrete material due to the porosity of the concrete material Building module in connection and can, for example, absorb or release humidity and thus develop a climate-regulating effect. The absorption and also the later evaporation of the moisture also have a temperature-regulating effect beyond the moisture balance, so that overall this addition of the porous material in the concrete material supports a pleasant living climate in the building module.

It can therefore be provided in an advantageous embodiment that the interior of the building module is free of plaster, which is a particularly economical embodiment of the building module support The climate-regulating effect otherwise made possible by plaster is taken over by the concrete material itself, at least to a considerable extent.

As an alternative to the expanded clay mentioned, pumice stone can also be used as a porous mineral material, just to name two commercially available products that are readily available by way of example.

Deliberately providing different concrete qualities in two opposite pipe walls can advantageously also be achieved by using two different concrete materials from the outset, for example concrete materials with bulk densities that differ from the outset. During production, a U-shaped cross-sectional portion of the pipe body can first be created from a first concrete material - typically the one with the higher bulk density, and then, even before this first concrete material has set, the upper pipe wall of the pipe body is made fresh in fresh from a second concrete material cast - typically with the lower bulk density. Both concrete materials combine to form a monolithic tubular body, and the two different concrete materials with their different concrete qualities can be specially selected to solve a specific problem, for example to effectively dampen a particularly wide acoustic frequency range.

In one embodiment, an upright shaft can be formed monolithically through the concrete material. In the manufacture of the tubular body, a shaft is thus automatically created which extends over the height of the building module. This shaft can be used to route supply lines so that they can be accessed later at a central point to simplify maintenance as much as possible are. These can be lines from the electrical and plumbing installations.

Just like the shaft mentioned, it can be provided that several walls are created monolithically from the concrete material during the production of the tubular body, which walls delimit a space located inside the tubular body and thereby leave a door opening free. During the production of the tubular body, the door opening is used, for example, to arrange a core between these walls to be produced in the casting mold, such a core being able to be removed through the door opening left free after the concrete material has hardened. During the casting process, the core occupies the space within the concrete material which, after the concrete has hardened and the core has been removed, then creates the desired space - for example a room - within the pipe body.

The end walls of the building module are preferably closed by prefabricated elements that are inserted into the tubular body at both ends or attached to the tubular body. These can be end walls made of wood or wood-based materials, metal or plastic. For example, the end walls can be perforated or designed as a grid, for example if the building module is to be used as a warehouse, e.g. as a parking space for vehicles.

If the building module is used to accommodate technical equipment, for example as a pump room, server room or the like, the end walls can be designed as panels made of the same concrete material as the tubular body of the building module. This ensures excellent fire protection, which protects both the facilities inside the building module against a fire that occurs outside the building module, and excellent fire protection, which protects the surroundings of the building module in the event that a fire breaks out inside the building module.

The use of lightweight concrete for the tubular element means that the building module can be equipped with technical equipment ready for operation and still maintain a transport weight that enables transport on public roads. For example, the building module can be equipped with a generator for generating electrical energy, or as a data center or database with a large number of computers or digital storage media. The corresponding technical equipment can accordingly be put into operation quickly at the installation site of the building module, with noise protection being ensured by the concrete material of the building module in addition to the fire protection mentioned above.

In particular if the building module is to be used for residential purposes, the end walls can also serve to allow natural light to enter the interior of the building module. The end walls can be designed as frame constructions with several segments, with door, window or dummy elements being able to be inserted into the individual segments. The frame of such a frame construction enables the end wall to be fastened from the outside to the end face of the tubular body, so that the interior of the tubular body can be used entirely as living space in the building module.

Provision can advantageously be made for a front wall to be fully glazed. In the case of the design of the end wall as a frame construction with a plurality of segments discussed above, this means that all segments are designed to be permeable to light. If necessary, both opposite end walls can also be fully glazed. for buildings, which are formed from several proposed building modules, a building module is surrounded vertically and laterally by neighboring building modules. Since in this case the only incidence of light into the interior of the building module occurs through the front sides, the full glazing can contribute to ensuring an adequate supply of natural light inside the building module due to its large area.

Since the building module is not assembled from individual panels, which may only be assembled into a three-dimensional body at the construction site, but because it has the monolithic tubular body, it can be provided in an advantageous embodiment that the building module is designed as a prefabricated element that can be assembled on site delivered practically ready for connection. In this case, it is already equipped with elements of the sanitary installation and/or the electrical installation at the factory, so that the entire building module only has to be connected to the necessary supply and drainage lines and is then immediately ready for operation and only has to be equipped with furniture.

A side wall of the building module can advantageously be provided with a facade which, given the porous concrete material, forms weather protection against moisture. Therefore, this side wall of the building module can be covered with a very large or with several smaller facade panels. If the building module is to be used as a building consisting only of this one module, both opposite side walls can accordingly advantageously be covered with such facades.

It can be particularly advantageous that the facade is designed to be thermally insulating, for example by initially providing a thermal insulating or insulating layer adjacent to the tubular body of the building module and then covering this thermal insulating layer on the outside with a weather protection layer is covered, e.g. B. in the form of a metallic or mineral facade panel.

Thermal insulation can also advantageously be provided on the ceiling of the building module. In this case, a heat-insulating insulation layer is provided on the ceiling and then a water-impermeable barrier layer on top of this insulation layer. The barrier layer can consist, for example, of a bitumen film or the like, or of a metallic top layer. In a particularly advantageous manner, however, it can be provided that the barrier layer is designed as a slab made of watertight concrete. Due to the inherent rigidity of such a concrete slab, it is provided in this case that this slab or this barrier layer projects beyond the tubular body at the two front ends of the building module and thus forms a roof overhang that reliably prevents the penetration of moisture below the barrier layer.

The dimensions of the building module can, for example, lead to the tubular body having a length of 5 to 15 m, in particular about 10 m, in order to achieve the largest possible living space while at the same time being able to transport the building module by land. In addition, with such length dimensions, the advantage of the proposed manufacturing process is particularly clear in contrast to first casting the tubular body in an upright position and then swiveling it into its horizontal position of use: the great height would lead to very different properties in upright production, which the tubular body would later have has on its two front sides. Due to the horizontal production, however, even a very long tubular body always retains the same properties in its cross section over its entire length.

The width of the tubular body can be about 2.50 m to 4.50 m, in particular 3 m, in favor of problem-free transport on public roads.

A room height that is advantageous for the room climate can be ensured if the tubular body has a height of 2.30 m to 4 m, in particular about 2.80 m to 2.90 m, for example 2.85 m. Depending on the transport route to be used From the place of manufacture to the place of installation, these height dimensions can also enable transport under bridges. In particular, if the building module is to be used as living space, a room height of approximately 2.50 m to 2.60 m can be aimed for, as is typical for many residential buildings. In view of a wall thickness of the tubular body of about 15 cm, an internal room height of the tubular body of 2.55 m is accordingly guaranteed if the tubular body has the mentioned height of 2.85 m on the outside.

The aforementioned dimensions take into account in particular the transportability of the building module from the production site to the installation site on public roads. However, dimensions deviating from this can be provided without any problems, in particular if such transport is not to take place via public roads, but only has to meet the technical requirements of the transport device used. For example, the building modules can be produced where a new - and possibly temporary - settlement is to be built. The hall used for production can, for example, be used as a school building, market hall or the like after the construction of the settlement, after the production facilities have been removed from this hall. Accordingly, the building module can also have dimensions larger than those mentioned above, for example a width of 7 m.

Using the described building module, a building can advantageously be created which consists of at least two such building modules. In favor of the most economical design of the building module it is intended that no sound insulation in the form of a floating screed that isolates impact sound is provided in the building module. Spacers or damping bodies are therefore advantageously arranged between the two adjacent building modules, which insulate structure-borne noise, for example mats made of a rubber or elastomer material. Such damping bodies are usually not required between two building modules arranged next to one another, but they can be provided there in order to reliably prevent structure-borne noise transmission even if the two building modules approach one another due to movements of the subsoil. In particular, the damping bodies can advantageously be provided between two building modules arranged one above the other, so that although sound can be perceived within a building module from one room to the other, sound insulation is reliably achieved between adjacent building modules.

Due to the high inherent stability of the monolithic concrete body, an advantage of the present proposal is that a building consisting of several proposed building modules can be erected in a particularly simple manner. The individual building modules can be set up freely next to and/or on top of each other, i.e. without the use of additional, statically effective connecting elements such as a common connecting or supporting frame or the like.

In this context, a connecting element is referred to as being statically effective, which rigidly connects two building modules to one another and prevents relative movements between these two building modules. Connections between the individual building modules, such as electrical or sanitary installation lines, or the elements of weather protection mentioned on the facades or on the roof of the building Buildings are not taken into account in this context, since they do not cause a loadable connection between the building modules from a static point of view and, despite these existing connections, the neighboring building modules are not connected from a static point of view. Due to the dead weight of the individual building modules, the cohesion of these modules within a building is nevertheless guaranteed, so that additional, statically relevant connecting elements can be dispensed with in an economically advantageous manner.

In this context, the spacers or damping bodies mentioned can have an anti-slip effect in addition to their damping effect, which can be used to advantage: they can contribute to achieving optimal slip resistance between adjacent, statically unconnected building modules, especially in the case of building modules arranged one above the other.

In particular, it can advantageously be provided that the spacers or damping bodies are designed to be elastically deformable. For example, a knobbed mat made of an elastomeric material can be used, ie a surface element which has outwardly protruding projections in the form of so-called knobs on one or both of its opposite surfaces. The knobs can be deformed in all directions parallel to the surface of the knobbed mat when the knobbed mat is subjected to shear stress. This is the case when two building modules arranged one above the other attempt to move relative to one another. In this case, the knobs are deformed under the influence of the load that occurs, but due to their elastic deformability and their restoring forces, they cause the two building modules to return to their original relative position after the load.

In order to enable the economically advantageous free installation of the building modules and at the same time to ensure a particularly strong connection between the adjacent building modules, the monolithic building modules can be provided with a profiling on their outside, which causes a form fit between two adjacent building modules. It can be particularly advantageous that a recess of one building module is configured larger than a corresponding projection of the other building module. A direct, sound-transmitting contact between the two monolithic concrete bodies of these two building modules can be avoided and a sound-damping body can be arranged in the space between the mentioned recess and the projection immersed in it.

Undercut / Earthquake / Uplift Loads

Irrespective of whether a damping body is arranged in the recess or not, a form fit is nevertheless achieved in any case. If, for example, the individual building modules are moved relative to each other due to settlement of the subsoil or tremors, a relative movement of the two building modules to one another is possible until contact occurs in the area of the profiling, i.e. the projection of one at the edge of the recess of the other Building module applied. The extent of the relative movement between the building modules is determined in this case by the size of the gap that exists in the recess towards the protrusion plunging into it.

The structurally irrelevant connections between adjacent building modules can be designed to allow such relative movements. For example, electrical lines and pipelines can be curved or spiral-shaped be laid, and facade elements can be held in plain bearings.

In order to be able to produce the building modules as identical parts in an economically advantageous manner, the aforementioned profiling can be realized on the outside of two opposite module surfaces, ie on the two side walls on the one hand or on the roof and the floor on the other. A recess on one of these module surfaces is therefore opposed to a projection on the other of these module surfaces. When the building is erected from the same building modules of this type, it is therefore automatically the case that the two different, complementary profiles interact with one another and form the desired form fit.

A building that is as economical as possible can be supported by the fact that the damping bodies are provided exclusively between two building modules arranged one above the other. Without providing special brackets on the building modules, the damping bodies can simply be placed on the lower building module. After the upper building module has been put in place, they are fixed in their position so that they cannot shift due to the weight load.

Soundproofing between adjacent building modules can be achieved in a simple manner, while saving assembly time and material, simply by setting up the two building modules by leaving an air gap between these two building modules. In this case, there is no need at all for damping bodies between the two laterally adjacent building modules. However, spacers can ensure that the air gap is maintained, with the spacers being designed to be acoustically dampening in order to avoid an undesirable transmission of structure-borne noise. In this respect, the spacers are also referred to as damping bodies and can consist, for example, of the same material as the other damping bodies that are provided between two building modules arranged one above the other, the spacers being able to have smaller dimensions in comparison to these other damping bodies.

Another advantage of the damping bodies is that they not only dampen weak vibrations, such as the sound mentioned, but also stronger vibrations, such as those that occur during earthquakes, for example. The monolithic design of the tubular body gives the building module significantly better stability than four separately manufactured wall elements that are connected to form a tubular body, so that for this reason alone a building constructed from one or more proposed building modules has a particularly high Guaranteed security against earthquakes. The damping bodies mentioned allow the building to move elastically, ie relative movements between the individual building modules can take place, and vibrations or pressures between the individual building modules can be absorbed and damped. As a result, a high level of seismic safety is created for both single-cell and multi-cell buildings, ie for buildings that consist of a single building module or of several building modules. This applies in particular when the building modules are not statically connected to one another, so that they can carry out the relative movements mentioned without loading and straining an otherwise existing, statically connecting structure such as a connection or support frame.

In principle, the building module can be used as a self-contained housing unit, so that it forms a so-called "single-cell" housing unit. Advantageously, however, two- or multi-line residential units can be created, which accordingly provide more floor space than a single building module. Accordingly, a multi-cell building is formed from a plurality of single-cell and/or multi-cell residential units. To create a two-cell or multi-cell dwelling unit, two or more basic modules can be arranged side by side and/or one above the other, and provision can in particular be made for two or more different types of building modules to be used.

The building modules can differ in different floor plans, for example in the arrangement of walls provided monolithically in the building module, or in the number and arrangement of doors, which allow passage to the neighboring building module, so that, for example, a "passage module" can be provided which has two Has doors in the two opposite side walls and creates a connection between the two outer modules in a row of at least three modules as the middle module. Without this middle passage module, the two outer building modules can be arranged immediately adjacent to create a two-cell dwelling unit.

Different basic modules can differ in the factory-provided, standardized installations of electrical or sanitary lines and functional elements, so that they are accordingly prepared for use as living rooms, kitchens or sanitary rooms.

To create a two-cell dwelling unit, two adjacent building modules can advantageously form a common living space by the two building modules being arranged adjacent to one another with the tube walls of their two tubular bodies, ie not adjoining one another at the front. In the two tube walls that are adjacent to each other are mutually overlapping passage openings arranged, for example, two aligned door openings. However, if the two building modules are arranged one above the other, these two through-openings that overlap one another can serve, for example, to accommodate a stairway, possibly a spiral stairway, connecting the two floors. The two passage openings overlap one another in such a way that they allow passage from one building module to the adjacent one.

For aesthetic reasons, the two through-openings can advantageously be completely aligned with one another, that is to say they can be of the same size. This makes it possible to cover the separating gap between the two housing modules by means of a frame surrounding the opening. However, if the production of several different types of building modules is intended, which can be combined with one another in different ways, it can be provided that two through openings only partially cover one another and allow passage from one module to the next, but that these two through openings do not must be exactly aligned with each other.

If several building modules are arranged next to each other, i.e. with their pipe walls adjacent to one another and not with their end walls, a so-called building block results. Weather protection, as described above for the individual building module, is only required on the two outer sides of the building block in this case, so that in a particularly economical design of the building, only these two outer sides of the building block can be covered with one or more facade panels each .

If several building modules form the building block described, the entrance doors can be offset to one another be arranged, so be provided on the different end faces of the building modules. However, the building modules can be arranged so that the entrance doors are all located next to one another, which is particularly advantageous from an economic point of view, so that access to the entrance doors can be created in a particularly simple manner. If a multi-storey building is created from several building modules, the entrance doors can be connected to one another by a walkway, similar to the so-called arcades at the level of the upper building modules, whereby access to this walkway can be made possible by a staircase.

The individual building module can be protected from precipitation by the roof construction mentioned above, namely by the thermally insulating layer and by the barrier layer arranged above it, which can optionally be designed as a concrete slab. If a building comprises two or more building modules that are adjacent to one another and whose side walls are adjacent to one another, it can advantageously be provided that the aforementioned barrier layers of the roof construction each have an upstand on the adjacent longitudinal sides. The gap that results between the two barrier layers of the two building modules can then be easily covered by a sealing strip that has a U-shaped cross section that is open at the bottom and that is arranged in such a way that it overlaps the two adjacent upstands . Such a bar can be, for example, a prefabricated molded part made of plastic or metal, or it can be a film attached and shaped at the construction site.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the purely schematic representation. while showing

1

a horizontal cross section through a building complex,

2

a vertical section along line II-II in 1 , and

3

a section along the line III-III in 1 .

In 1 a building complex is shown, which comprises two buildings 1, each building 1 being formed from a multiplicity of building modules 2. Two different module types are provided, namely a building module 2, which is referred to as living module 3 and a building module 2, which has a different floor plan and is referred to as sleeping module 4. The individual building modules 2 are each 10 m long and 3 m wide. They have a room height inside of 2.55 m and a wall thickness of 15 cm, so that the building modules 2 each have a total height of 2.85 m.

As in particular from the Figures 2 and 3 As can be seen, the two buildings 1 each have three floors, so that each building 1 has three building blocks 5 arranged one above the other and each building block 5 is formed by ten building modules 2, namely five living modules 3 and five sleeping modules 4 alternately.

As can be seen from the floor plan of the individual residential units in 1 can be seen, the floor plans of the opposite building modules 2 are designed symmetrically to each other. Deviating from the exemplary embodiment shown, it can be provided in favor of the most economical possible design of the building modules 2 that only the two module types shown, the living module 3 and the sleeping module 4, are produced and a first building 1 or a first building block 5 is erected from them. For the second building 1, the building modules 2 used there are each rotated by 180° so that, as in 1 the Inputs to the respective building modules 2 are opposite one another and can be accessed through arcades arranged centrally between the buildings 1 .

These arcades show the from the 1 and 2 visible catwalks 6, which can be reached via a staircase 7. In each sleeping module 4, a monolithic shaft 8 is formed from the concrete material used for the tubular body. For this purpose, a side wall 9 of the tubular body does not run in a straight line in one plane, but rather with a U-shaped deflection, so that the shaft 8 open to the side is created.

Likewise, when manufacturing the monolithic tubular body, it is provided that monolithic walls 10 are created from the same concrete material, which delimit a room 11, but leave a door opening 12 free, so that this room 11 can be used, for example, as a bathroom and the associated access and Derivatives on a short way to the shaft 8 can be performed.

The two end walls of each building module 2 are identified by 14, with doors 15 being provided in the end walls adjoining the catwalks 6 as entrance doors for entering the respective residential units.

the end 2 It can be seen that a roof construction is provided on the uppermost building modules 2 of the two buildings 1, which provides a heat-insulating layer 16 on the respective ceiling 17 of this uppermost building module 2 and a waterproof barrier layer 18, which covers the insulating layer 16.

The barrier layer 18 is designed as a concrete slab with a length of 11 m, so that this concrete slab protrudes over the building modules 2 on both sides by 50 cm in each case. The concrete slab that forms the barrier layer 18 has a circumferential Backsplash 19 on so that how out 3 it can be seen that in the case of two adjacent basic modules 2, the upstands 19 of the barrier layers 18 directly adjoin one another. Additional protection against the ingress of water is achieved in that these two adjacent raised edges 19 are covered by a U-shaped sealing strip, which cannot be seen from the drawings.

From the Figures 2 and 3 It can be seen that the monolithic tubular bodies made of concrete material of the building modules 2 each form a floor 20 of the basic module 2 apart from the side walls 9 and the ceiling 17 .

The two different living and sleeping modules 3 and 4 form how 1 can be seen, together one apartment with a living space of approximately 50 m ² . The two building modules 2 used for this purpose each have a through-opening 21 on their two adjoining side walls 9, these two through-openings 21 being of the same size and being aligned with one another in the exemplary embodiment shown.

Due to the scale, it cannot be seen from the illustrations that two damping bodies, which are designed to be sound-insulating, are arranged between two adjoining building modules.

In 1 a facade construction is shown at the two ends of each of the two building blocks 5 shown, which is designed as a heat-insulating facade, in that a thermal insulation layer 16 is also arranged on these two ends of a building block 5, which is covered with several thin, for example metallic, facade panels 22 and is therefore protected against moisture and UV radiation.
