External wall heating system: Renovation of a MFH to nZEB standard

Alexander Schmitt Project leader

Abstract
Thermal insulation, comfort ventilation, low-temperature heat distribution, and thermal component activation: what is usually planned separately and can only be implemented after the inhabitants have moved out, is installed in "ProsumerSkin" in a single step. The system is being tested in a P&D project in Bern on an inhabited building as part of a serial refurbishment using prefabricated façade elements. This simplifies the renovation of uninsulated apartment buildings into net-zero buildings.
