Quelle: Burkhard Schulze Darup
Abstract
This learning unit describes how the various building components can be renovated really efficiently, depending on the state of the existing building. Selection of materials is explained, challenges regarding the minimization of thermal bridging are discussed and appropriate solutions proposed. Construction details are shown and potential problems (e.g. thermal bridges) are pointed out. In addition, what matters in material selection is discussed.
Objectives
On completing this unit students are able to …
- list and describe measures of thermal renovation
- define thermal bridges
- explain measures to deal with thermal bridges
