Interior insulation retrofit of a historical brick wall using vacuum insulation panels: Hygrothermal numerical simulations and laboratory investigations [PDF]

, 2014
Old listed buildings need to be retrofitted to reduce the energy use for heating. The possible thickness of the insulation layer is limited by the existing construction.

Hygrothermal response of masonry facades with vapour-tight or capillary-active internal insulation under current and future climate scenarios

Built Heritage
Interior thermal insulation has been widely used to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort of historic buildings. However, traditional vapour-tight insulation materials strongly influence the hygrothermal behaviour of facades, which may lead to ...
