Energy is the hot topic
The building envelope plays a supporting role in the energy aspects of a house, specifically the building shell. Through a combination of the basic shape of the house - the ratio of enveloping surface (A) to heated space (V), as well as the type of building material, the energy efficiency of an entire "building lifetime" is established. The best A / V ratio for a building is a cube. Translated into architecture, it means that cubic house forms without bay windows and protrusions in the facade offer clear energy sustainability advantages. Additionally, large south facing windows provide a free and significant contribution to the use of naturally occurring solar energy.
Less wall material is always more. The more different layers an exterior building wall has, the greater the risk of damage, such as humidity, in one layer or the another.
In terms of thermal insulation, Bisotherm is highly ranked due to its U values of up to 0.15 W/m2K and clearly exceeds the EnEV (Energy Conservation Regulation) specifications. Because of these top insulation values there is no need for an expensive thermal insulation composite system. That is Bisotherm’s valuable contribution to saving heating energy and related CO2 emissions. Given the projected energy price increases in coming years Bisotherm provides a sustainable solution.
