Insurance Policies for Condition-Based Maintenance Plans of ETICS

Buildings, 2022
Currently, insurance companies exclude the buildings’ envelope of their policies since they lack reliable information about the risks and degradation models and are unable to estimate the probabilities of intervention and corresponding costs.

Solar reflectance of ETICS finishing coatings – a comparison of experimental techniques [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The solar reflectance has a significant role in the thermal behaviour and surface temperature of ETICS finishing coats. Incomplete information of solar reflectance of ETICS with nanopigments can sometimes difficult their adequate selection. In this work,

Phase Change Materials and Their Benefits in ETICS

Applied Sciences, 2020
Phase change materials (PCMs) are materials with the ability of absorption of latent heat based on a phase change. PCMs are able to store and release a large amount of energy at certain temperatures melting or freezing.
