In addition, these are compared with the results obtained with a different product currently available on the market. It can be seen that a continuous improvement in the results was achieved. At the same time, material usage and manufacturing costs were reduced.Compared to the presented solution, using a common product shows significantly lower deformations.The comparative product had a slightly larger lever for internal forces at a height of 200 mm. At the same time, the comparative product only offered an insulation thickness of 120 mm, while the console presented here allows for a greater insulation layer thickness with a shell spacing of 160 mm.Conclusion and outlookThe product presented enables a novel, dismantling-friendly construction of a thermally separated balcony connection. Practicality, load-bearing capacity and deformation behaviour were evaluated positively. At the current stage, the insulating effect is roughly on a par with established systems.There is still need for research and development in the area of work preparation to ensure low manufacturing tolerances. For example, prefabricated formwork elements for the ceiling slabs could be used to allow for higher precision within the on-site fabrication process. nReferences[1] Schiewerling, M.: Entwicklung fortschrittlicher Baukonstruktionen als ein Beitrag f%u00fcr ressourceneffiziente Verbundkonstruktionen [Dissertation].
