Abstract
To increase the rate of renewal in the building sector, new renovation strategies and durable measures are needed. The standard thermal insulation composite system (WDVS) is not sustainable in several ways. Building owners and investors are increasingly recognizing the advantages of diffusion-open wall systems and large storage masses such as insulation bricks. In the project, the energetic potential of alternative insulation systems for refurbishment is being holistically analyzed and optimized in terms of the market together with stakeholders. Based on a previous project collaboration with Keller AG Ziegeleien, the KISmur façade system was further developed for refurbishments. The analysis consists of the existing structural layer and an added layer of the developed insulating brick.
