Low Energy Consumption Façade Pilot Project
Low Energy Consumption Façade Pilot Project

Summary/Abstract: Retrofitting existing buildings with prefabricated insulation panels provides not only considerably faster construction rates, greater insulation layer thicknesses, but also more finishing options and optimal window placement, when compared to traditional method for retrofitting façades. Considering the variety of buildings in need of renovation, more knowledge of implementation of this type of renovation is of an great importance both for contractors and future manufacturers. A pilot project, retrofitting of a facede, made in 1970’s with an area of approximatelt 135 m2 was done and equipped with a variety of sensors in order to provide insight for the performance of the insulation panels.
