2 Develpment f an advanced winterizatin unit Mnglian Red Crss Sciety Lg f partner S(P)EEDKITS has received funding frm the Eurpean Unin s Seventh Framewrk Prgramme (FP7/27-213) under grant agreement n

3 Advanced winterizatin unit Objectives: 1. Develpment f a dedicated islative tent material t be used fr shelters in cld areas 2. Develpment f an advanced winterizatin unit fr the existing Kizilay family tent Prduct requirements: Gd thermal insulatin (R value between.5 and 1 m2.k/w) Fire retardant Breathable IR reflective inside Lw cst 3

4 Advanced winterizatin unit SPEEDKITS team (SIOEN, Centexbel & IFRC-SRU) develped tw dedicated islative tent materials based n advanced nnwven laminates with the fllwing materials prperties: Thermal cnductivity =.41 Thickness = 2 cm r 4 cm, thus resulting in thermal insulatin values f.5 m2.k/w and 1 m2.k/w, resp. Ca. 6 and 15 g/m2, resp. IR reflective Breathable Mechanically reinfrced Excellent fire retardancy, i.e. B-s2, d accrding t EN ; B1 accrding t German nrms, and M1 accrding t French nrms 4

5 Advanced winterizatin unit After industrial prductins f bth types f insulatin materials (R =.5 m2.k/w and 1 m2.k/w, resp.) these materials were used t prduce 2 different inner tents (35 x 411 cm) fr the Kizilay shelter. 5

6 Advanced winterizatin unit Miscellaneus inf: Winter prf inner tent can be easily integrated int Kizilay family tent and ther structure Easy t install via Velcr cnnectins t the frame f the family shelter Vlume f inner tent can be reduced t half size Flr part is fully prtected against water cming frm utside Sft material gives a pleasant and safe feeling when sitting/walking n it Price f this winterizatin unit depends n the applied insulatin material (2 r 4 cm thickness), size, required functinalities, etc. (indicative price: 5-75 EUR) Reasnable weight but vluminus prduct Material is fully recyclable at end f life manufactured via existing prcesses Readily available (shrt develpment perid) Tw winterizatin units (2 and 4 cm thickness, resp.) were transprted t Mnglia t be tested in the field under extremely cld cnditins 6
