Building envelope for new buildings and energy renovation of existing buildings

The project is to further the heat economy of new buildings and existing buildings through a technological development of building envelopes, excl. windows. The project is therefore to establish the theoretical, experimental and practical basis for the future building envelope by the following means: - To clarify a range of physical building-problems of thermal nature at highly insulated constructions, cold bridges, new materials etc. on the basis of detailed measurements. - With the results of the measurements to contribute to the revision and support of existing as well as new norms and calculation methods with the emphasis on multidimentional heat flows. - To procure the gained knowledge for relevant authorities, organizations and firms
