[0056] The following functions can be performed optionally: - Different degrees of structural function with regard to the transfer of loads and forces across the building component module and between two or more components of a building. The typical forces generated by loads on the balcony, wind, or earthquakes can be tensile and compressive forces, bending moments, and shear forces. - Resistance and / or protection against the effects of fire. Fire must not be able to spread upwards from the balcony below through the building components. It is also important that the structural elements of the system are protected against fire. Either the insulation material is non-combustible or offers a certain level of fire resistance. Fire protection (e.g. rock wool), or (in the case of polystyrene, for example) the element is protected by fire protection panels below, above or on both sides, which are glued to the insulation body. - A secondary function at the time of installation of the building component module or at a later stage of construction.

[0057] Modules are essentially block-shaped, with a narrow length, a width corresponding to the width of the joint, and a height approximately equal to the height of the joint.

Elements can be in rod form or similar (steel rod, fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.), profile form (e.g., I or Z, made of metal or fiberglass), steel plates, steel or concrete dowels, steel cables, etc. - Optionally, one or more fire protection elements, e.g., fire protection panels. - Optionally, one or more elements that hold the individual parts of the module together. For example, these could be plastic parts that hold everything together. - Optionally, any accessory element that is useful at the time of module installation or in a later construction phase. For example, lifting eyes for a prefabricated element where the thermal insulation elements are already cast in place, recesses for routing pipes from the balcony to the interior ceiling, accessories for fixing glazing and doors, etc. - Optionally, a visual sign, symbol, color, letter, number, or shape. For example, all structural modules have one color, and all accessory modules have a different color. - Optionally, a barcode, a QR code, or an RFID tag. - Optional materials that contribute to sound insulation. For example, elastomer or rubber bearings.

[0058] The modules are designed so that they can be connected in one or more of the following ways: - The fasteners between the modules are located on one or more sides of each module and are usually oriented towards the joint. The modules can, for example, be stacked on top of each other. The modules are connected to each other via one or more rails on the lower and / or upper and / or side surfaces of the modules and / or a continuous element running along the joint. The rails are characterized by the following features: - The ability to connect the modules at specific locations and / or intervals without specific tools. - Optionally, the modules can be connected in a specific direction perpendicular to the joint, thereby avoiding possible assembly errors. - Optionally, the possibility to check the correct fastening and alignment of the modules. - Optionally, the possibility to verify the presence, position and type of each module by one of the following methods, e.g., a hole in a rail: a visual sign or symbol or color or letter or number or shape, a barcode, a QR code, an RFID tag or a similar method of wireless verification. - Optionally, the rail can be attached to at least one other support, either temporarily or permanently. For example, the rail can be attached to formwork (e.g., nailed or glued) before the modules are clipped in.

[0059] A reduced range of small component modules can be used, which can be manufactured in lengths of approximately 10 cm. Since the 10 cm modules would not be stable for transport or installation in practice, they can be connected together. The correct and optimal use of this product can be supported by a computer program for dimensioning and configuration.

[0060] The building component modules can be clipped onto at least one coupling element on-site at a construction site or in a precast plant. All conceivable combinations are possible. Each building component module is interchangeable and can be combined lengthwise, on either the right or left side, with building component modules of the same or any other module type. The construction system can be implemented with as few as one module type. All building component modules can be clipped onto at least one coupling element. The length of all module types can be standardized and / or the same, e.g. 10 cm. The various component module types can always be equipped with the same insulating material (EPS, mineral wool, etc.). The component modules can have a clip-on mechanism for the rail. This can be implemented either through a groove in the component module body or insulating material, or through an open or closed structure, such as a plastic box containing the insulating material and serving as the interface with the rail. A component module type can be designed primarily or exclusively to bear vertical shear forces. A component module type can be designed primarily or exclusively to bear horizontal shear forces. The component modules of all component module types can be designed for use in combination with other components. Component modules of a single component module type can be component modules with a secondary function or accessory modules.In this case, this means in particular that component modules of this type serve a purpose other than simply providing a structural connection and / or insulation between two concrete components. A component module type with a secondary function, or an accessory module type, may be designed to provide a transport anchor. These components may consist of, in particular, a transport anchor without further reinforcement. A component module type with a secondary function or accessory module type may be designed to allow penetrations for cables, ventilation pipes, etc. Component modules of a given component module type may integrate a fire protection function. Component modules may be marked on the top, bottom, and / or sides to facilitate inspection and / or confirmation of correct orientation and / or installation of the component module. Coupling elements of a type designed as a rail or support rail can be designed to prevent horizontal slippage or displacement of the building component modules along the coupling element. Coupling elements can be equipped with an identifiable feature to prevent the individual building component modules from aligning themselves, for example, towards the balcony or the interior ceiling. The coupling elements can be designed such that a predetermined distance is maintained between the building component modules, a so-called grid, which corresponds to the length of the building component modules, e.g. 1 0 cm. A building element can always have a coupling element, especially at the bottom or top. A second coupling element is optional. The coupling elements optionally include a fire protection element. The coupling elements are designed so that other elements can be fixed to them, e.g., by screwing. Coupling elements of a type designed as a rail or support rail can be designed as a guide for positioning a joint. Coupling elements of this type can, for example, be nailed to formwork before the building component modules are connected to the coupling element. Optionally, the coupling elements have a lateral fastening section, such as a tab, to secure the coupling element's position. The coupling elements and / or coupling element types can have different lengths. The lengths of the coupling elements and / or coupling element types can be multiples of the length of the shortest building component module (grid).

[0061] Using the software or computer program, a combination of component modules can be determined that meets the structural requirements, particularly based on a given inventory. Using the software The software or computer program can detect individual component modules and / or coupling elements in real time using sensors, particularly a camera, and verify whether the component modules are in the correct position. Errors can be reported if necessary. The software or computer program can be implemented as a smartphone app.

[0062] The invention enables highly variable and configurable manufacturing of building components, depending on various requirements (e.g., geometric, structural, fire protection, sound insulation, transport, etc.). Efforts such as costs, time, assembly, and / or transport can be reduced. Flexibility and / or safety, such as assembly reliability, can be increased.

[0063] Short lengths, for example 10 cm, allow for precise adaptation to the length of the connection and to the requirements (structural, thermal, acoustic, fire protection, etc.) at each connection point, since a suitable component module can be selected at each point. A "resolution" can therefore be, for example, 10 cm. A suitable module can be provided for every requirement. The modular component can be assembled "à la carte".

[0064] The range of component modules is much smaller compared to conventional product ranges. Various requirements can be met by combining the component modules. The component modules are easy to transport because there are few references and gaps can be optimized. The component modules are easy to identify because there are few references and they can be easily identified by a unique symbol or color that is easily understood and quickly recognized.

[0066] Fig. 1 shows a modular component 100 for connecting a component 102 to a component 104 of a building with minimal thermal bridging. Fig. 2 shows the modular component 100 in an open view.

[0067] The building element 100 is designed as a structural connection element with reinforcement or strengthening elements, such as 106, for arrangement in the area of ​​a thermal bridge in a joint 108 between the building elements 102, 104 in order to reduce heat transfer.

[0068] Component 100 comprises multiple cuboid component modules, such as 110, 112, and 114, and two rail-shaped coupling elements, 116 and 118. Component modules 110, 112, and 114 are selected from component module types within a building system. This building system includes component module types with different structures and / or functions. The primary function of component modules 110, 112, and 114 is thermal insulation. These modules may also have secondary functions.

[0069] The component modules 110, 112, 114 are arranged along the joint 108 and coupled to each other by means of the coupling elements 116, 118. The coupling elements 116, 118 are arranged on the outside of the component modules 110, 112, 114, at the top and bottom. The reinforcement elements 106 penetrate the component modules 110, 112, 114 transversely to the longitudinal direction of the joint 108. The component modules 110, 112, 114 each have a length 120, a width 122, and a height 124. The longitudinal direction of the component modules 110, 112, 114 corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the joint 108.

[0070] Component modules, such as component modules 110, 112, and 114, are selected and coupled using a computer program, taking into account specific technical, logistical, and / or economic requirements, to manufacture or prefabricate modular components, such as component 100. The manufactured or prefabricated components are then transported to a construction site, a precast concrete plant, a storage location, or an installation site, where they are used to connect building components, such as component 104.

The coupling element 202 has geometrically complementary second connection sections, 210, 212, corresponding to the first connection sections 206, 208. The second connection sections 210, 212 are arranged on opposite wall sections of the coupling element 202 in the width direction. The first connection sections 206, 208 and the second connection sections 210, 212 are arranged asymmetrically in the height direction to ensure a correctly aligned arrangement of the component module 200 on the coupling element 202.

[0073] To connect the component module 200 and the coupling element 202, the component module 200 is correctly aligned at the designated position and placed onto the coupling element 202 from above in the direction of arrow 214. The first connecting sections 206, 208 and the second connecting sections 210, 212 interlock, forming positive-locking connections and thus securing the component module 200 to the coupling element 202. The coupling element 202 then forms a bottom surface of the component module 200.

[0074] The coupling element 202 has a fastening section 216 designed as a tab, which serves to fasten the coupling element 202 before, during and / or after the manufacture of a modular building element. For example, the coupling element 202 can be fastened to formwork using a fastener 218, such as a screw or nail.

[0077] The component modules 402, 404, and 406 are labeled on their upper surfaces with numbers as identifiers 410, 412, and 414, respectively, and are thus identifiable. The coupling element 408 is arranged on the upper surfaces of the component modules 402, 404, and 406 and has recesses as test sections 416, 418, and 420. The numbers are visible through the recesses, so that the presence and type of component modules 402, 404, and 406 can be verified.
