Abstract
From the Dynamic Simulations Assessment of the Hygrothermal Behavior of Internal Insulation Systems for Historic Buildings towards the HeLLo Project
Highlights
Historic buildings account for 30% of Europe‘s building stock [1] and, the field of energy refurbishment of heritage buildings is one of the priorities of the EU policies to reduce fuel consumption and face climate change
Concerning historic buildings, the intervention on the envelope is driven by various criteria [9], among which e.g. aesthetic value, targeted energy improvement (U-value) or useful floor area loss [10], [11]
When historic buildings are located in protected areas or present specific heritage values, frequently, besides window replacement and external roof insulation, the intervention is limited to internal thermal insulation of walls, which becomes often an inevitable option towards the energy improvement of such buildings
Summary
Historic buildings account for 30% of Europe‘s building stock [1] and, the field of energy refurbishment of heritage buildings is one of the priorities of the EU policies to reduce fuel consumption and face climate change. When historic buildings are located in protected areas or present specific heritage values, frequently, besides window replacement and external roof insulation, the intervention is limited to internal thermal insulation of walls, which becomes often an inevitable option towards the energy improvement of such buildings. In this particular case, compatibility issues might occur (between the existing walls and the new added materials).
