Dhomo is a unique research project, a real full-scale construction site-laboratory, which has enabled the formulation of innovative products not only from a technical point of view but also in terms of the philosophy around which they were conceived: to contribute to the living wellbeing and well-being of the people who inhabit the spaces. Developed in collaboration with the University of Trento and a select network of trusted partners, involved both scientifically and technologically, from design to implementation, Dhomo is a concrete example of how much today's construction choices can influence tomorrow's living well-being.
Dhomo is a unique research project, a true, full-scale work site-laboratory that has allowed for the formulation of products that are innovative not only from a technical point of view but also in terms of the philosophy on which they are based; contributing to the well-being of the individuals that inhabit spaces. Developed in collaboration with the University of Trento and a select network of trusted partners involved on both a scientific and technological level from design to implementation. Dhomo is a solid example of how the construction choices made today can influence the well-being in the future.
With the aim of analytically defining living comfort and formulating high-performance products with direct and real effects on the quality of living, a complex of residential buildings with different construction technologies but which, in terms of shape, surface area, exposure and orientation, are totally comparable to each other was constructed. This made it possible to analyze and compare the data collected, thanks to an advanced system of probes placed in place during construction, to determine the best technologies in terms of living comfort and formulate new natural, healthy and breathable products.
The research project has seen an initial phase of monitoring of the data during construction of the buildings, which has allowed the behaviour of the structures, the finishes and the systems to be analysed, comparing, for example, the results of using differing products, natural or mechanical ventilation, convection or radiant systems, and either automated or manual management systems. Over a successive period of one year, these data were enhanced with the analysis of the actual perceived well-being of the families living in the residential units. This is all highly valuable information that has allowed for the definition of an integrated holistic index, a form of unit of measurement with which to determine living comfort, providing Tassullo with unique skills that are hard to replicate, and therefore a competitive advantage in assisting planners and constructors creating comfortable and sustinable buildings.
