Description

The present invention relates to a room module for a building, and a method for manufacturing a building with the room module.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In conventional construction technology, but also in prefabricated construction for buildings and in particular for single and multi-family houses, the structural support structures, such as walls, supports and ceilings, are built at the place of construction of the building and the installations later in the existing structures and rooms assembled. The walls of the building can be made of solid construction, i.e. for example by means of bricks, or in wood construction, for example as a wooden stand or solid wood construction. An on-site installation is linked to the completion of the preliminary work and is also often subject to disturbing weather conditions. Furthermore, the manufacturing tolerances are high due to the low degree of automation, which means that a large part of the assembly work is attributable to inaccurate preliminary work.

Buildings can also be manufactured in prefabricated construction. In the prefabricated construction, wall and ceiling or roof elements are prefabricated and transported to the building site. The wall elements supplied are assembled at the installation site until the corresponding rooms and the building itself is assembled. Components such as windows and doors as well as installation components such as empty pipes for electrical installation or plumbing and heating installation are pre-installed in the wall elements. Prefabricated walls, for example, can be made from solid stone or from wood and wood-based materials. The prefabricated walls also already have the necessary insulation, for example. Furthermore, the prefabricated walls are solid, since they usually also take on the supporting function of the building.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to increase the degree of prefabrication for a building by means of a module.

This object is achieved with a room module for a building, a building and with a method for producing a building according to the independent claims.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a room module for a building is described. The room module has carrier elements which form a first closed frame and a second closed frame, the first closed frame and the second closed frame being arranged at an angle to one another such that the first closed frame and the second closed frame at least partially surround a room volume. Furthermore, the room module has a first side wall, which is arranged on the carrier elements of the first closed frame and the second closed frame, a building services installation, which is mounted on the carrier elements or the first side wall, and a transport connection, which is formed on the carrier elements is. The transport connection is configured for coupling to a transport device. The first closed frame and the second closed frame have a corner area, in which at least two support elements are fastened to one another, the side wall being arranged such that it does not cover the corner area and the corner area remains free when the room module is installed in the building , The room module represents a decoupled module with respect to a retaining wall of the building, if

1/24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office the room module is installed inside the thermal envelope in the building.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a building is described. The building has at least a first retaining wall (e.g. load-bearing wall, but also walls which form the thermal envelope and are implemented in combination with skeleton support structures), which forms a supporting wall of the building, a floor on which the retaining wall is fastened, a thermal envelope , and at least one room module described above. The space module is completely arranged within the thermal envelope, the space module being, in particular, thermally decoupled from the thermal envelope. In an exemplary embodiment, the first support area (or closed frame) or the second support area (or closed frame) forms a floor area, via which the weight of the room module can be at least partially removed, the one floor area of the room module being different from the floor ,

[0008] In the following, a building is understood to be a one or more storey building. For example, the building can represent a single or multi-family house. The building can also be an office or hotel building. In addition, the building is also understood to be a utility building (warehouse, etc.).

The supporting walls of the building form the load-bearing walls of the building. The supporting walls of the building are, in particular, external walls of the building, and internal supporting walls can also be arranged in the building. The retaining walls are made of brick or concrete, for example, in a solid construction. Furthermore, the supporting walls can also have truss or skeleton structures, for example steel girders. Furthermore, the retaining walls can be manufactured in a load-bearing wooden construction. In summary, the building can be produced as a frame construction, solid wood construction, prefabricated construction, conventional solid construction with masonry in wood, concrete, brick, steel and panels and combined and combined with the spatial module according to the invention.

The room module represents a decoupled module with respect to the walls (i.e. the retaining walls) of the building. The room module can be manufactured with different construction techniques compared to the retaining walls of the building. For example, the room module with a support structure can be produced as a spatial steel frame construction or in a wooden frame construction, while the supporting wall of the building is manufactured in solid brick construction. The room module has at least a first side wall. A room module can also be produced from two side walls, which are connected by means of a connecting wall. In particular, the room module can have four side walls which completely enclose a room volume. A connecting wall can, for example, form a side wall or, as described further below, a floor element or a ceiling element of the room module.

The room module is thus completely or partially prefabricated and has completely or partially finished surfaces on the first side wall, such as plastered or wallpapered surfaces. Furthermore, for example, prefabricated walls or facing shells as well as floors and ceilings are prefabricated in the room module. The room module therefore does not contain any external walls of the building but only internal walls and facing walls. The outer walls of the building are formed by the retaining walls. The side wall can also have parts of the building services installation of an adjacent or underlying room module. The side wall as a ceiling element can also have parts of the building services installation of an adjacent or overlying room module or room. Furthermore, individual pre-installed facing shells and installation walls can be added to a room module in vertical or horizontal lateral expansion.

The side wall forms, for example, a module plate and is attached to the first and / or second support area. The side wall covers an entire carrier area, for example. Alternatively, the side wall can also cover only a partial area of the carrier area. Several side walls can be attached to corresponding support areas in a room module. A side wall can, for example, as

2.24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office

Connection wall are formed and connect two adjacent side walls.

Furthermore, in a room module, for example, sound and fire protection components and, for example, equipment for multi-storey construction, for example stair facilities, are preinstalled.

The side walls can be made, for example, of wood-based materials such as chipboard, in a wooden frame construction, from dry construction materials or from solid materials, such as brick or concrete.

The space module forms a self-supporting unit with the support structure. This means that the room module including the building services installation described below can be set up in a self-supporting manner without the need for external supports or other static elements. The room module can be manufactured and stored separately as a unit until it is used in the building.

The building services installation is mounted on an inside of the support structure or the side walls or the connecting wall and protrudes into the room volume. The building services installation includes installations that implement, ensure or enable the functionality provided in the room. A home automation installation can be understood as a kitchen installation, for example, if the room module is intended as a kitchen or is given one under other functional areas. The house technology installation can, for example, have water, sewage and electrical lines, fittings, a kitchen sink, kitchen shelves and also kitchen appliances, which are already pre-installed on the corresponding side walls or the connecting walls. The house technology installation is installed in the room module in such a way that the functionality of the house technology installation is provided without further installation in the room module being necessary.

The transport connection is e.g. arranged on a support element of the frame structure. The transport connection is configured to be coupled to a transport device, in particular a crane or a truck. The transport connection is designed, for example, in accordance with the BDF (German Freight Association) system, so that the room module can be coupled to standardized transport means for transport by means of the transport connection. The room modules can thus be saved directly to a BDF compatible vehicle. For example, the transport connection forms a standardized container connection, so that the space module can be fixed during transport by means of fastening devices (e.g. twist locks) of means of transport, such as trucks, etc. Twistlocks are locks that connect the room module to each other and / or to the carrier vehicle in a similar way to swap bodies or ISO containers. The twistlocks are inserted into the standard corner castings of the support elements of the room structure and the room module is placed on the locks that are firmly attached to the transport device. Then a part of the twistlock is rotated by 90 ° (and e.g. via a screw connection or hydraulically clamped), which creates a positive connection.

With the room module according to the present invention, it is possible to transport prefabricated room cells quickly and easily between the installation site and the place of use of the room module. Due to the ease of transportation, the degree of prefabrication can be efficiently increased. This means that the room module can be prefabricated and quickly installed on the construction site. This speeds up the construction of the entire building, so that the construction phase at the construction site runs more quickly and the overall construction costs are therefore cheaper. Furthermore, the individual and separate production of room modules enables a small series and a corresponding repeatability to be made easier, which likewise makes production more efficient and therefore cheaper. Since the room module, including its installations, cannot be prefabricated at the construction site itself, but in factories, manufacturing tolerances are reduced and more ergonomic workplaces in production compared to on-site construction are created. At the same time, this means that resource conservation is due to the

3.24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office

Manufacturing in a company is made possible. Furthermore, the room modules can be manufactured free from external weather influences, so that damage, for example moisture damage, is prevented during the manufacture of the room module. At the same time, this means that more moisture-sensitive building materials can be used for the room module, since a protected pre-construction can be guaranteed.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the support structure forms a frame structure, for example with support elements which together form a supporting frame. The support elements form, for example, the first flat support area and the second flat support area. The term carrier area is used below to describe an area which extends along a plane. In other words, all support elements of a frame area (or support area) lie in a single plane. The carrier elements form a closed frame, for example. Furthermore, the support elements can form a framework. The support area forms a self-supporting structure. The first carrier region is thus in a first plane and the second carrier region is in a second plane, the first plane and the second plane being at an angle to one another. The support elements, which form a support area, can be produced, for example, from wooden, aluminum or steel supports. Furthermore, the frame structure can have cross struts or infills to reinforce the frame structure. The frame structure or support structure is in particular designed to be load-absorbing in such a way that a plurality of spatial modules lying above it can also be supported in the multi-storey building. Furthermore, the frame structure or support structure can be coupled to the supporting walls and ceilings of the building, so that the frame structure or support structure can be used to reinforce the building.

At least the first side wall, the second side wall or the connecting wall is attached to the support elements of a support area. The side walls or connecting walls can, for example, be formed over the entire surface, for example in a panel construction, and can be fastened to the frame structure or support structure.

Forces can also be transmitted from the ceiling support, a purlin support or from any beam connection for vertical load transfer to the support structure or the frame structure.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the carrier structure has a wall pane which forms at least the first carrier region or the second carrier region. A wall pane is understood to mean a flat, self-supporting wall, which can also absorb forces from the building services installation or other components.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the side wall forms the wall pane. Thus, the side wall itself can be self-supporting and absorb forces.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, a further transport connection can be formed on the support structure, the transport connection and the further transport connection being at a distance of approximately 7 m to 8 m or at a distance of approximately 2.4 m to 2.8 m , With these distance dimensions, certain nominations, such as DIN EN 284 (for swap bodies), DIN EN 283/284, container chassis according to ISO 1496 and / or chassis according to DIN 70014, can be met, so that no transport devices specially designed for the room module have to be provided. The space module can thus be transported using standardized transport devices, such as trucks or trains.

[0025] The transport connections can each be arranged on the corner regions of the frame structure at which the first carrier region and the second carrier region meet. Alternatively, the transport connections can be arranged at a distance from the corner regions. For example, the transport connection can have a smaller distance from the further transport connection than opposite corner regions of the support structure. Thus, the room module can be made wider or longer than the An

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office final dimensions on the transport device.

The carrier areas can be free of a cover with a side wall, frame part or support, in particular at their corner areas or at the areas where the transport connection is formed.

[0027] A support area can form a floor element (floor area) or a ceiling element of the room module. The weight of the room module is at least partially dissipated via the floor element. In particular, the transport connection is formed on the floor area. Support elements (e.g. beams) can be arranged along the floor element.

The ceiling element and the floor element have, for example, horizontally lying, vertically effective sealing measures, for example vapor barriers (foils) and moisture seals under damp rooms, so that these no longer have to be applied at the installation site of the building.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the floor element has a stand element, by means of which the floor element, an underlying supporting structure, in particular a further room module or a floor of the building, can be set. The stand element is particularly adjustable in such a way that a distance between the base element and the base can be adjusted and height inaccuracies can be compensated for. The floor element can thus be arranged at a distance from the floor of the building by means of the stand element. The floor of the building can thus be formed using point foundations, for example. A full-surface formation of a base plate is therefore not mandatory. Furthermore, an insulating material, such as rock wool, can be introduced in the distance between the floor element and the floor of the building. Furthermore, due to the distance, rear ventilation is made possible, so that moisture damage in the floor element is reduced.

The stand element can be, for example, a solid base, which is made of materials with high rigidity, such as steel. Furthermore, the extension of the stand element can be adjustable, so that a distance between the floor of the building and the floor element can be set. Thus, after the supporting walls and the floor of the building or the walls of the room module have settled, these can be compensated for by adjusting the stand element. Such a stand or connecting element can also be implemented in the vertical connection between the modules.

[0031] According to a further exemplary embodiment, the first support area (or closed frame) or the second support area (or closed frame) forms a ceiling area. The ceiling area then consists of the supporting structure. For example, a side wall can be provided as a ceiling element on the ceiling area. The ceiling element can consist, for example, of a wooden structure or a concrete structure. Furthermore, support elements (e.g. beams) of a frame construction, as described below, can be arranged along the ceiling element. In an exemplary embodiment, when used for a multi-storey building, the ceiling element can form a floor element of an overlying room module. A double construction of floor element and ceiling element can thus be avoided in the multi-storey building, since the ceiling element of the room module below forms the floor element of the room module above.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the room module has a second side wall, which is arranged in the at least first carrier region or second carrier region. The first side wall and the second side wall are in particular arranged at an angle to one another.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the ceiling element projects beyond the first side wall and / or the second side wall, in particular horizontally.

24.5

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian Patent Office [0034] In an exemplary exterior design, in which several room modules are arranged one above the other, the weight of the room modules can only be absorbed by the support structure without the weight being introduced into the supporting walls of the building , Thus, the weight forces are not vertically derived from other supporting structures of other components of the building, such as the supporting walls, so that room modules lying one above the other form an installation tower, so to speak.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the room module has at least one retractable and extendable or insertable (attachable) stand, which is attached to the support structure. The stand is set up to store the room module at a distance from a floor when extended.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the house technology installation has a kitchen installation, in particular with kitchen cabinets and a kitchen sink, a bathroom installation, in particular with a toilet and / or sink, or a boiler room installation (house technology), in particular with a heating system and water distribution systems and disposal lines ,

For example, the walls of the room module form the required installation shafts for water, air or electricity in the building services installation. In particular, the room modules have at least two of the following components: electrical distributors, sanitary connections and drains, heating distributors, heat generating devices, heat distribution devices, heat transfer devices.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the room module has a coupling element which is provided on one of the outer sides of the first frame area and / or the second frame area in such a way that the frame structure can be coupled to a supporting wall of the building for fastening the room module. The coupling element has an adjustable element, in particular a screw bolt. By means of the adjustable coupling element, the vertical distance between the modules is possible in coordination with the neighboring, if necessary, building components subject to a settlement process.

The coupling element has, for example, an adjusting screw, a wedge plate or hydraulic or pneumatic adjusting elements. In this way, construction-related settlements of the subsequent building structures, such as the supporting walls of the building, can be compensated for.

Furthermore, the coupling element can be designed to be selectively detachable. This enables the coupling between the room module and the supporting wall of the building to be released again. The room modules are thus designed to be interchangeable on the retaining wall and correspondingly on the building. This means that once the building has been completed, individual room modules can be replaced again. This means that the functionality of individual room modules can be replaced. For example, a kitchen module can be replaced as a room module and a living room module can be used as a room module.

A coupling element can have elastically deformable adapter areas, which allow a relative movement between the supporting walls of the building and the walls or the frame structure of the room module. A different setting of the building or the room module can thus be compensated for by means of the coupling element. Settlements (approx. 1-2 cm per storey in the first 1 to 3 years) of the side walls or the support walls compared to an almost settlement-free support structure (e.g. the steel frame structure) can be compensated for using set screws or wedge plates as a coupling element (e.g. in the vertical module joint) ,

Alternatively, the coupling element (in this case, a hanging structure can be defined as a coupling element) are designed such that the weight forces of individual or of each room module are completely introduced into the support structure such as retaining walls or adjacent ceilings of the building. This means that individual or no room module absorbs a weight from a room module above. Beispiels6 / 24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office, a room module can be hung in a raw floor hole or directly on the supporting wall of the building.

Accordingly, in an exemplary embodiment, the supporting wall of the building can have a lockable exchange opening through which access to the room module is made possible from the outside. After completion of the building, for example, the replacement opening in the retaining wall can be opened and the corresponding room module can be pushed out of the side of the building. Then another room module can be pushed into the building through the exchange opening. This enables variable use of the building.

The support wall is constructed, for example, in such a way that the building bearing forces are guided around the exchange opening. For example, the exchange opening can be surrounded by a support frame. The exchange opening itself can be designed, for example, as a brick or wooden wall, without forces of the building or the room module being introduced into this wall. The wall of the exchange opening can thus be removed selectively without endangering the statics of the building. Alternatively, the room modules can be exchanged vertically, for example by making a roof area of the building removable.

[0045] According to a further exemplary embodiment, at least the first frame area and the second frame area are arranged at right angles. Alternatively, at least the first frame region and the second frame region have an angle α of approximately between 5 ° and approximately 70 °, in particular between approximately 10 ° and approximately 45 °. For example, the first frame area can be designed as a ceiling element. The ceiling element can, for example, run with a corresponding roof pitch, for example of 30 degrees, and accordingly have an angle of 30 degrees to a second frame area. This means that room modules can be adapted to a desired building shape.

In an exemplary embodiment, the side walls can also have curved or curved surfaces and shape courses.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the room module also has an interface element which is coupled to the building services installation. The interface element can be coupled to a supply element of the building, the interface element being in particular a sanitary connection, a heat distribution device or an electrical connection element.

Furthermore, the walls of the room module can have corresponding interface elements preinstalled, which are designed in such a way that they can be coupled vertically and / or horizontally to adjacent room modules or building technology devices located in neighboring building areas are simply connected to the prefabricated components of the module.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the first side wall can be interchangeably coupled to the support structure.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, at least the connecting wall is separable into a first partial wall and a second partial wall such that the first partial wall forms a first partial module with the first side wall and that the second partial wall forms a second partial module with the second side wall.

The first partial wall and the second partial wall can, for example, be releasably connected to one another. For example, the first partial wall and the second partial wall can be connected to one another by means of connecting elements, such as bolts or screw connections. Furthermore, the first partial wall and the second partial wall can be telescoped. For example, the first partial wall can have a cavity at the interface to the second partial wall, the second partial wall in the cavity of the

7.24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office first partial wall is adjustable.

A submodule is thus smaller than the entire room module and can therefore be transported more easily. Correspondingly smaller sub-modules can be combined with other sub-modules up to the desired maximum module size of the room module.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the support structure or the frame structure is coupled to the first retaining wall of the building in such a way that loads of the room module can be transferred to the first retaining wall or a floor.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the building, the first supporting wall has a smaller coefficient of thermal conductivity or thermal conductivity than the first side wall, the second side wall and the connecting wall. This means that the insulation materials are especially or exclusively formed in the supporting wall of the building. The first side wall, the second side wall and / or the connecting wall can be free of insulating materials, such as, for example, polystyrene or rock wool.

[0055] According to a further exemplary embodiment of the building, this has a thermal envelope. The space module is completely arranged within the thermal envelope, the space module being, in particular, thermally decoupled from the thermal envelope.

The room module is thus completely within the thermal envelope and is completely separated from it or touches it in partial areas or entire areas.

[0057] According to a further exemplary embodiment, the building has a further room module, the room module described above. The floor area of the room module and the further floor area of the further room module are designed separately from one another and possibly differently (for example with different building materials or with different building structures).

The house technology installation of the room module and the further house technology installation of the further room module can differ. For example, the room module can form a staircase or a kitchen, while the other room module forms a bathroom or a boiler room in the building. As described at the beginning, the further room module can be arranged above the room module in a further exemplary embodiment.

[0059] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a building is described. According to the method, a room module described above is formed. Furthermore, the room module is arranged at an installation location of the building.

Furthermore, a retaining wall of a building is formed after arranging the room module at the installation site. The space module is completely arranged within the thermal envelope, the space module being, in particular, thermally decoupled from the thermal envelope.

According to the method, the supporting wall of the building is formed after arranging the room module at the installation site. In this embodiment of the method according to the invention, the internal functional building structure of the building, which can be produced from a large number of room modules, can first be formed. Only after the large number of room modules have been coupled to one another is the adjoining building structure and the building envelope having the supporting walls formed. For example, the thermal envelope and protection against external influences, which is formed by the retaining walls and the roof of the building, are created after the installation of the room modules. Without the pre-formed retaining walls, the room modules are easier to adjust and install, so that the room modules can be set up faster and the building can be set up faster.

The room modules can thus be offset and anchored and static before assembly of the subsequent components such as retaining walls, ceilings or the roof of the building

8.24

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office. In other words, the room modules can first be anchored at the installation site of the building and statically and effectively connected to one another, after which the construct on room modules is enclosed by the outer shell of the building, i.e. the supporting walls, the ceilings and the roof of the thermal shell of the building.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, the steps of forming the room module and assembling a building services installation are carried out at an installation location, the installation location being located at a distance from the installation location of the building. The room module is then transported from the installation site to the installation site. This means that the room module can be prefabricated in a safe environment with high manufacturing quality.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, after the installation of a building services installation (and before transport to the installation site of the building), the building services installation is tested at the installation site. This ensures that a fully functional room module is provided at the building site. Time-consuming test cycles and on-site commissioning are eliminated or reduced, so that the installation time at the construction site itself is reduced and costs are saved.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, the temporary erection of buildings and the change in the installation site are significantly simplified and accelerated or even possible in the first place.

In summary, the room modules can be used in modern building construction, the room modules being suitable for accommodating building technology components or building technology-intensive areas. Large areas of house technology can be prefabricated in one plant. This allows cost savings through shorter construction times, increased quality and improved working conditions, i.e. ergonomics and employee efficiency.

[0067] Furthermore, construction projects can be implemented more quickly. In addition, individual room modules can be replaced as a whole, making it easier to change, maintain or repair.

If the room modules are used in timber construction, a more precise and improved moisture insulation under wet rooms can be ensured. The critical areas of mold formation and wood decay due to insufficient or damaged moisture insulation in the construction elements under and next to wet rooms can be effectively prevented.

[0069] Furthermore, as described above, a height compensation option to compensate for settlement typical of wood construction can be integrated in the room module itself. In addition, the building module can be used to partially or completely reinforce the building itself through one or more room modules. Furthermore, the implementation of buildings is considerably simplified or even made possible.

It is pointed out that the embodiments described here represent only a limited selection of possible embodiment variants of the invention. It is thus possible to combine the features of individual embodiments in a suitable manner, so that a multitude of different embodiments can be regarded as obvious for the person skilled in the art with the embodiment variants explicitly described here. In particular, some embodiments of the invention are described with device claims and other embodiments of the invention with method claims. However, upon reading this application it will be immediately clear to the person skilled in the art that, unless explicitly stated otherwise, in addition to a combination of features that belong to a type of subject matter of the invention, any combination of features that belong to different types of Objects of the invention belong.

1 shows a room module 100 for a building 150. The room module 100 has a frame structure 300 as the support structure, the frame structure 300 having a flat first frame area 111 as the first support area (floor 104) and a flat second frame area 112 as the second Carrier area (upright), the first frame area 111 and the second frame area 112 are arranged at an angle to one another such that the first frame area 111 and the second frame area 112 at least partially surround a volume of space. Furthermore, the room module 100 has a first side wall 101, the first side wall 101 being fastened to the frame structure 300, a building services installation 107, which is mounted on the support structure 300 or the side wall 101, and a transport connection 108, which is formed on the frame structure 300 is. The transport connection 108 is configured for coupling to a transport device such that the space module 100 can be transported with the transport device.

The supporting walls 151 of the building form the load-bearing walls of the building 150. The supporting walls 151 of the building 150 are, in particular, outer walls of the building 150, wherein internal supporting walls 152 can also be arranged in the building 150.

The room module 100 represents a decoupled module with respect to the walls 151, 152 of the building 150. The room module 100 has the side walls of elements 101, 102, 103. A room module 100 can have at least one side wall 101, 102, 103. In particular, the room module 100 can have four side walls 101, 102, 103, which completely enclose a room volume. A connecting wall can, for example, form a side wall or, as described further below, a floor element 105 or a ceiling element 106 of the room module 100.

The room module 100 is thus completely or partially prefabricated and has completely or partially finished surfaces, such as, for example, plastered or wallpapered upper

AT 519 323 B1 2019-12-15 Austrian patent office. Furthermore, for example, floor-to-ceiling facing walls 116 or facing shells in partial heights 115 as well as floors and ceilings are prefabricated in the room module. The room module 100 thus does not contain any outer walls 151 of the building 150, but only inner walls (side walls) 101, 102, 103 and facing walls 116 or facing shells 115. The outside walls of the building 150 are formed by the supporting walls 151. The floor element 105 can also have parts of the building services installation 107 of an adjacent or underlying room module 100. Furthermore, individual pre-installed facing shells 115 and installation walls 116 can be added to a room module 100 in a vertical or horizontal lateral extension.

The side wall 101, 102, 103 forms, for example, a module plate and is fastened to a frame area or support area 111, 112. A plurality of side walls 101, 102, 103 can be fastened in a room module 100 to corresponding frame areas or support areas 111, 112. A side wall 101, 102, 103 can for example be formed as a connecting wall and connect two adjacent side walls 101, 102, 103.

The building services installation 107 is mounted on or in one of the side walls 101, 102 and can protrude into the room volume. In the present example, the house technology installation 107 comprises a water installation, so that the room module 100 in FIG. 1 forms, among other things, a kitchen niche. The building services installation 107 can, for example, have a hot and cold water connection and a drain pipe connection, which is already preinstalled. This is installed in the room module 100 in such a way that the functionality of the building services installation 107 is provided within the module without further installation work in the room module 100 in the building 150 being necessary.

The space module 100 forms a self-supporting unit with the frame structure 300 from the frames 111 and 112.

A side wall as the floor element 105 can consist, for example, of a wood, steel or aluminum construction, but also a concrete construction. The room module 100 can be set up and fastened with the floor element 105, for example on a floor plate 153 of a building 150.

The floor element 105 has a stand element 109, by means of which the floor element 105 can be set on a floor 153 of the building 150. The stand element 109 is in particular adjustable in such a way that a distance between the base element 105 and the base 109 can be set. The floor element 105 can thus be arranged at a distance from the floor 153 of the building 150 by means of the stand element 109. The floor 153 of the building 150 can thus be formed using point foundations, for example.

The stand element 109 can, for example, be a solid stand, which is made of materials with high rigidity, for example steel. Furthermore, the extension of the stand element 109 can be adjustable, so that a distance between the floor 153 of the building 150 and the floor element 105 can be set. Thus, after the supporting walls 151 and the ceiling 154 of the building 150 or the walls 152 have settled, these can be compensated for by adjusting the stand element 109. The stand element 109 can have twistlocks, for example, which are compatible with transport connections 108 and are transmitted to the floor structure 153 via the building loads and stiffening forces. The transport connection 108 is e.g. arranged on a carrier element 111, 112 of the frame structure 300. The transport connection 108 is configured to be coupled to a transport device, in particular a crane or a truck. The transport connection 108 forms, for example, a connection point according to the BDF (Bund deutscher Freighter) system, so that the space module 100 can be coupled to standardized transport means for transport by means of the transport connection.

The room module 100 makes it possible for the room module 100 to be transported quickly and easily between the installation location of the room module 100 and the place of use of the room module 100. The / 24

Transport can be made efficient.

The supporting walls 151 of the building 150 form e.g. a thermal envelope. The room module 100 is arranged entirely within the thermal envelope of the building 150, the room module 100 being thermally decoupled from the thermal envelope in particular. The room module 100 thus lies completely within the thermal envelope and is completely separated from it or touches it in partial areas or entire areas.

The frame structure 300 can in particular at its corner regions 114, i.e. in which at least two carrier elements 301, which extend in different directions to one another, are fastened, are free of a cover with a side wall 101, 102, 103.

[0093] The transport connection 108 is configured to be coupled to a transport device, in particular a crane or a truck.

2 shows a perspective view of a room module 100. The room module 100 has an interface element 120 which is coupled to the building services installation 107. The interface element 120 can be coupled to a supply element of the building, the interface element 120 being in particular a sanitary connection, a heat distribution device or an electrical connection element.

The room module 100 has an installation shaft 110. This installation shaft is connected to the supply and disposal lines of the building 150 through openings 121 in the floor element 105 and in the ceiling element 106. In the installation shaft 110, in particular, lines for supplying and removing the skin technology installations 107 installed in the module and the vertically and horizontally adjacent modules are installed. Furthermore, installation lines can be routed into adjacent rooms 400 via the shaft 110 and subsequently via the interface element 120.

Furthermore, the walls 101, 102, 103 of the room module 100 can have corresponding installation shafts 110 preinstalled, which are designed such that they can be coupled vertically and / or horizontally to adjacent room modules or rooms 400. Rooms 400 adjoining the module 100 are supplied and disposed of via installations 107 which are connected to the interface element 120 at the place of use.

A wall forms e.g. a ceiling element 106. The ceiling element 106 projects horizontally beyond a side wall 103 in FIG. 1. Thus, the ceiling element 106 can, for example, form a ceiling of an adjacent room 400.

3 shows the frame structure 300 of a room module 100. The room module 100 has at least one carrier element 301. At least one wall 101 is attached to the carrier element 301. The frame structure 300 forms a closed frame, for example. Furthermore, the frame structure can form a framework. The side walls 101 can, for example, be formed over the entire surface, for example in a panel construction, and can be fastened to the frame structure 300. Furthermore, the frame structure 300 can have cross struts 304, or infills, in order to reinforce the frame structure. Furthermore, the frame structure 300 can be coupled to the supporting walls 151 and ceilings 154 of the building 100, so that the frame structure can act to reinforce the building. Forces can also be transferred to the frame structure 300 from a ceiling support, 119 a purlin support 118 or from any beam connection for vertical load transfer.

The frame structure 300 can in particular at its corner regions 114, i.e. in which at least two support elements 301, which extend in different directions to one another, are fastened, are free of a cover with a side wall 101, 102, 103 or a connecting wall. The coupling element 108 can be arranged at these areas in order to thereby fix the room module 100 to a support wall 151. Furthermore, the transport connection 108 can be formed at these free end regions.

The transport connection is configured to be coupled to a transport device, in particular a crane or a truck.

The room module 100 also has at least one retractable or foldable stand 302, which is attached to the frame structure 300. The parking foot 302 is set up to store the space module 100 at a distance from a floor 153 in the extended state.

Fig. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment in which a plurality of room modules I, II, III are arranged one above the other. The room modules I, II, III shown in FIG. 4 can be designed in accordance with the room module 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The weight of the room modules I, II, III, and the room 400 above is e.g. exclusively by the support structure 300 of the individual room modules I, II, III, without the weight being introduced into the support walls 151 or 152 of the building 150. Thus, the weight forces are not vertically derived from supporting structures of other components of the building 150, such as the supporting walls 151, or the ceilings 154, so that room modules lying one above the other form a self-supporting installation tower, so to speak.

Alternatively, a coupling element can be formed such that the weight forces of individual or of each room module I, II, III, are completely introduced into the support walls 151, 152, or beams 402 or the ceilings 154. This means that individual or no room module I, II, III absorbs a weight from a room module above it.

For example, a room module I, II, III, can be hung in a raw floor hole 160 or directly on the support wall 151 or 152 of the building 150.

Furthermore, the space lying in FIG. 4 above the uppermost room module III can be formed by a module. In the uppermost room module (IV), a first frame area 111 runs at an angle α of approximately 30 degrees relative to a second frame area 112 of the room module IV. Thus, the room module IV can also be installed in roof areas of the building 150.

In Fig. 4 it is indicated that the outer shell of the building 150, which is formed by the support walls 151, forms a thermal shell. The room modules I, II, III are arranged entirely within the thermal envelope, the room modules I, II, III being, in particular, thermally decoupled from the thermal envelope.

4, a basement structure 401 is shown as the foundation of the building 150. The floor 153 of the building and the supporting walls 151 are firmly connected to the basement 401. Furthermore, the floor 153 can also be designed as a foundation. Furthermore, beams 402 can be retracted into ceiling areas 106 for fastening and reinforcing the construction. In addition, it is indicated in FIG. 4 that a window 403 or a window door can be formed, which can be arranged in a support wall 151. No module walls and end walls are formed in the window and window door areas 405. Additional walls 115 and additional shells 116 can also be implemented only in a partial area in which an installation is provided. For example, facing shells 115 are only made up to the height of the upper edge of the window sill.

5 shows a further exemplary embodiment, in which a further room module B is placed above a room module A underneath. When using such a storey structure, the floor element 105 can be moved into a formed floor ceiling hole 160.

[00108] This means that the room module A does not absorb any weight from a room module B lying above it. Furthermore, the weight of the module B will be hung directly in the ceilings 154 or in the supporting wall 151 or 152 of the building 150. Furthermore, the weight in beams 402 and building supports 404 is conducted into the floor 153.

The ceiling element 106 and the floor element 105 have, for example, vertically effective sealing measures, for example sealing sheets or vapor barriers (foils)

Damp rooms, so that they no longer have to be installed at the installation site of building 150.

6 shows a representation of the frame structure 300 of the room module 100 from FIGS. 1 and 2. The room module 100 has a frame structure, the frame structure with the carrier elements 301 having a flat first frame area 111 and a flat second frame area 112 having. The transport connection 108 is formed on the frame structure. The transport connection 108 is configured for coupling to a transport device such that the space module 100 can be transported with the transport device.

7 shows a method for producing a building 150 with the room modules 100 according to the invention.

First, a space module 100 is formed having a support structure, the support structure having a flat first support area 111 and a flat second support area 112, wherein the first support area 111 as the first frame area and the second support area 112 as the second frame area are arranged at such angles to one another that the first carrier region 111 and the second carrier region 112 at least partially surround a spatial volume. A first side wall 101 is attached to the frame structure 300 (step 701). Furthermore, a building services installation 107 is mounted on the support structure (step 702). A transport connection 108, which is formed on the carrier structure 300, is coupled to a transport device such that the space module 100 can be transported with the transport device (step 703). The room module is placed and adjusted at the installation location (step 706). Furthermore, a supporting wall 151 of a building 150 is formed and the room module 100 is arranged at an installation location of the building 150 (step 704).

Furthermore, one of the outer sides of the side walls 101, 102, 103 can be coupled to the supporting wall 151 of the building 150 by means of a coupling element 108, which is arranged on one of the outer sides of the side walls 101, 102, 103 or the support structure (step 705).

The room module 100 can, for example, be introduced into the already partially prefabricated building 150. Alternatively, the support wall 151 of the building 150 is formed after arranging the room module at the installation site.

The steps of forming the room module (step 701) and assembling a building services installation (step 702) can be carried out at an installation location, the installation location being remote from the location of use of the building 150. The space module 100 is then transported from the assembly location to the use location (step 703). Thus, the room module 100 can be prefabricated in a safe environment with a high manufacturing quality.

Furthermore, after installing a home automation installation 107 (and before transport to the installation location of the building (step 703)), the home automation installation 107 can be tested at the installation location (707). This ensures that a fully functional room module 100 is provided at the building site of building 150.

In addition, it should be pointed out that comprehensively excludes no other elements or steps and one or one does not exclude a plurality. It should also be pointed out that features or steps that have been described with reference to one of the above exemplary embodiments can also be used in combination with other features or steps of other exemplary embodiments described above. Reference signs in the claims are not to be viewed as a restriction.
