Sustainability at Konn Homes

From Manufacturing to Construction to Operation, Our Homes are Designed and Built to Be High-performing Environmental Assets

Sustainability Aspects

200% Energy Efficiency

Konn homes are built with superior thermal insulation which reduces the energy needs to 50% of in comparison with traditional construction.

Damp Free

With a fully sealed building envelope, Konn homes are damp free and therefore provide healthy indoor environment and reduce maintenance costs.

30% Less Waste

By using offsite construction methods and manufactured components, Konn homes reduce the waste and pollution of onsite construction.

Technology Driven Precision and Durability with Pre-Cast Concrete Building Systems

The main structure of a Konn Home is made of modular, offsite, insulated precast concrete components. Offsite and modular construction refers to a process where building parts are designed in modules, manufactured in a controlled factory environment, and then moved and assembled onsite to form whole buildings. Unlike traditional construction where most components are made on-site, offsite attempts to minimize work onsite and maximize work that can be done in transportable components Konn is a tech-enabled system that consists of pre-designed housing schemes, based on the specific needs and typology requirements of the local market. These designs are listed on an interactive Online Design Studio, so homeowners can select their homes with full ease and transparency.

The homes are designed for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA), through digital tools and platforms, and then translated into modular components that are sourced from local suppliers and manufacturers and delivered to the site for assembly by local certified assemblers.

DfMA and offsite construction offers numerable benefits including improved quality, faster design and construction time, increased efficiency and productivity, lowers construction waste and pollution, and enables mass production and standardization. It also increases digitization which allows for data collection and iterative improvement.

This is possible through smart digital modeling and simulation which is performed at multiple levels. From conceptual visualization, to building information modeling (BIM), multi-dimensional construction and manufacturing planning, and environmental and energy simulations. This allows for complete accuracy and predictability and eliminating uncertainty and risk.
