Abstract
Construction insulation systems should provide solutions to the problems of creation of suitable conditions of load-bearing construction elements and whole construction, reduction of heat loss through thermal insulation layer, and creation of living comfort in buildings. The article presents the results of experimental studies, the purpose of which is to optimize the composition of extruded polystyrene foam, the formation of methods for selecting its composition and the development of systems for the use of products based on extruded polystyrene foam. Main provisions of the method of analytical optimization, which allows significantly reducing the material and time costs for processing the experimental results, are also provided. Aspects of the implementation of building systems using extruded polystyrene foam both from the point of view of minimizing heat loss through contact areas and the degree of influence of vapor permeability of building structures on the temperature and humidity conditions of premises are studied. Mandatory criteria for construction with the use of building systems are safety conditions, including both structural safety (including maintenance-free cycle) and fire safety.
Highlights
The concept of a building system was introduced into everyday life by both builders and designers in the early 1990s, first for the construction of facades and interiors, and extended to other building structures
Insulation systems for building structures imply a solution to the following task groups:
- the creation of comfortable temperature and humidity conditions, which implies the use of effective thermal insulation [4,5,6]
Summary
The concept of a building system was introduced into everyday life by both builders and designers in the early 1990s, first for the construction of facades and interiors, and extended to other building structures. - optimization of heat loss through the insulating envelope implies, firstly, the use of effective thermal insulation materials; secondly, minimization of heat loss through contact heat-conducting bridges; thirdly, the elimination of air and vapor-air mixture filtration through insulating layers. This significantly increases the cost of both materials and installation. - the creation of comfortable temperature and humidity conditions, which implies the use of effective thermal insulation [4,5,6]
