Innovative Construction Method Using Polystyrene for Energy-Efficient Buildings

The video explains a construction method by Styrostone using prefabricated polystyrene sections to form concrete walls. These walls, once set, support structures and provide thermal insulation. The polystyrene, made from neopore, enhances insulation by reducing heat transfer.

What are the key properties of polystyrene that make it suitable for construction?

• Opaque and non-durable

• Brittle and heat-conductive

• Light, insulating, and moldable

• Heavy and non-insulating

What is the role of prefabricated polystyrene sections in the construction system?

• They are used as temporary supports.

• They form a concrete mould for walls.

• They are discarded after use.

• They are used for roofing only.

What happens to the polystyrene formwork after the concrete sets?

• It is removed and recycled.

• It remains as thermal insulation.

• It is painted over.

• It is replaced with metal sheets.

What is neopore and how does it contribute to the construction?

• A type of paint for aesthetic purposes

• A type of metal used for reinforcement

• A type of wood used for flooring

• A type of expanded polystyrene enhancing thermal efficiency

How does neopore affect the heat transfer in the structure?

• It only affects sound insulation.

• It has no effect on heat transfer.

• It increases heat transfer.

• It decreases heat transfer.
