Abstract

The work reviews selected aspects of modular construction based on the literature that describes solutions used in residential and public buildings. The impact of construction on the environment and human health, as well as the time and cost of the investment, was considered. Design recommendations and preliminary assumptions for module dimensions are presented depending on the type of transport and type of structure. The types of structures and building materials used in modular buildings in Poland were collected, and then the parameter of the global warming potential of materials available in Europe was compared based on their declaration cards of environmental products. Based on the collected information, a brainstorming session was conducted between industry experts and scientists from the universities of technology to define the STEEPVL analysis factors, which identified several important factors that affect the development potential of modular construction in Poland. The results of the first analysis were then subjected to a structural analysis to identify key factors, purpose, determinants, and results. The result of the research was the preparation of proposals for current activities toward the future development of modular construction, with particular emphasis on the educational offer.
