Highly Insulated Systems for Energy Retrofitting of Facades on its Interior

摘要

Thermal insulation in buildings is getting more and more performing with modern energy efficiency regulations in developed countries. Not only insulation requirements are imposed to new-built buildings, but also to refurbishment activities of the existing building stock, where availability of space is often limited. These requirements lead to increased insulation thicknesses in building envelope constructions in modern days, leading to opportunities industries to develop integrated super insulation solutions, as internal insulation solutions. Materials such as Aerogels allow for a substantial reduction of the required space. However, the implementation of these materials at large scale requires of the development of construction systems to guarantee that the overall energy performance of these meets the possibilities of super-insulated materials. Research outcomes integrated in this paper provide solutions through the assessment of thermal bridge effects in light construction systems for aerogels, and full scale experimental campaigns conducted at the Kubik by Tecnalia test facility.
