Mode(s) for Carrying Out the Invention

[0031] In the following it is firstly disclosed general embodiments in accordance to the present invention, thereafter particular exemplary embodiments will be described. Where possible reference will be made to the accompanying drawings and where possible using reference numerals in the drawings. It shall be noted however that the drawings are exemplary embodiments only and other features and embodiments may well be within the scope of the invention as described.

[0032] According to the present invention it is provided a cellular house

comprising building modules within an isolated outer framework/outer shell. At least some of the building modules are fully functional living units. In between the building modules and the outer shell it is vertical and horizontal hollow rooms - openings. The building modules can be provided as standardised standalone units with a minimum of necessary

connections to a common supply system for technical facilities.

[0033] In principle it is according to the invention provided a modular residential building comprising a framework and a set of flat modules adapted to fit into the framework. The flat modules may be provided with protruding blocks on each of its eight corners thereby providing for a distance between the framework and the main part of the flat modules and between neighbouring flat modules. The protruding block may serve as connection points/securing points between flat modules and the framework. The assembly of framework and flat modules are covered with an insulating layer/shell, thereby providing and interior canal system of the modular residential building. The canals appears as the distance between neighbouring flat modules in vertical and horizontal directions.

[0034] Moreover in one aspect it is an object of the invention that all modules have the same outside measures i.e. same width, height and depth. This facilitates assembly of the modular residential building as well as it makes for a rational and efficient construction of the framework for the modular residential building.

[0035] Heating

[0036] To facilitate installation of the heating system for the cellular house, the openings between the outer shell and the building modules shall be provided with approximately the same temperature everywhere or almost everywhere. In one embodiment the temperature is between 10 and 20 °C and in an aspect of the embodiment the temperature is set between 18-19 °C throughout the heating season, consequently the need for individual heating of each building module is very limited. Furthermore during summer season the forced air circulating in the interior canals of the modular residential building may have a temperature that is lower than the outdoor temperature thereby reducing inside temperature in the flat modules or reducing the need for cooling down inside temperature in the flat modules.

[0037] It shall be appreciated that the present solution is not sensitive to the

temperature of each individual flat module as opposed what is normal for blocks of flats. IN a block of flats living units has a limited number of walls facing out, the walls that are chared with neighbours reduces the need for heating/cooling. Obviously if one or more flats are temporarily or constant uninhabited this will affect the need for energy supply for heating or cooling the neighbouring flats, this will not be the case in the modular residential building according to the present invention due to a large extent to the interior canals having air streams with adapted temperature circulating behind the outer shell of the modular residential building.

[0038] Estimations have shown that with an outdoor temperature of -20 °C and with U-values as indicated in the table below for a building module of approximately 25m 2 with a ceiling height 2.35 m the power consumption will be approximately 235 W with an indoor temperature of +21 °C for each individual building module.

[0039] To keep temperature at constant or nearly constant temperature in the cavity between the outer shell and the building modules canals are provided below the ground floor. The canals can originate from a technical room arranged in the middle of the building on the ground floor and they can be terminated at the end wall. The canals serves as distribution canals for air. Venting can be provided for at the technical room by canals arranged between the technical room and a ceiling void at the top of the residential building.

[0040] In figure 1 b it is indicated a "central" in and out of the central it is shown arrows indicating direction of air streams. To improve fire safety extract fire dampers and/or supply fire dampers is provided at the inlet and or air outlet from the central indicated by said arrows.

[0041] A fan and a dehumidifier (heat pump) and a reheating battery can be

installed in the technical room. The fan, dehumidifier, and the reheating battery can be based on distant heating or air/water heater pump and electric boiler. This will minimise direct acting electricity for heating. The solution may also facilitate that electrical after heater battery can be used by the ventilation plant whilst simultaneously keeping the cavities dry.

[0042] Ventilation

[0043] Each individual module can be provided with its own generator with

balanced ventilation. The generator may have a rotating heat recovery unit and a filter of F7 class.

[0044] The generator can be combined/be arranged together with a kitchen

ventilator. When the kitchen ventilator is used the vented air will bypass the heat recover to reduce fouling. The generator has its air inlet on the facade of each individual module and the extract air is canalised upward above the roof top in a separate canal.

[0045] Alternatively air inlet can be provided at front side and extract air outlet can be provided at the back side of the modular residential building or vice versa. In one alternative embodiment the air inlet is at bottom of the building and air is extracted over the roof of the modular residential building.

[0046] The amount of air for each flat/module is determined by the need in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Typically a maximum air volume with forced ventilation in kitchen and bathroom can be 216 m 3 /h. To cover heat requirement for a flat/module an after heater battery in the ventilation plant can be used or a heater such as an electric radiator can be used.

A detailed description of the accompanying drawings

[0047] In the following a first embodiment of a modular residential building is

described with support in the accompanying figures.

[0048] The figures can be divided into groups as follows:
