MERI DE LA MAZA, Ricardo (coord),  Sml House. prototipo de vivienda solar prefabricada. TC CUADERNOS, 2012

The Solar Decathlon Europe is an international competition that challenges collegiate teams to design and build houses powered exclusively by the sun. The winner of the competition is the team able to score the most points in 10 contests.

The challenge of the SML system pro- posal consists in defining an architectural language where structural, composition and functional values are introduced in a coherent way, values all of them derived from sustainable construction.

The unit or basic module is formed totally by prefabricated materials and dry-assembled, being wood the predominant material in the SML system, to create an entirely prefabricated module. Each of these units is transported fully equipped, only lacking the joints of the systems and its own assembly, taking special care of tightness and thermal bridges, an aspect studied from the initial design.

Prefabrication serves the proposal’s economy, assembly and disassembly speed, with reduced aids, and the mobility of the house given the dimensions of the unit that has been designed to be transported in conventional vehicles, reducing in this way displacement costs.
