Question
How thick must the insulation layer be to achieve the requirement U = 0.18 W/m2K?
A wall of ventilated facade with insulation must meet requirements:
Bearing construction: Lightweight concrete
λ lightweight concrete = 0.14 W/mK, d=100 mm
λ insulation = 0.04 W/mK, d=? etc
Cold bridges 15%
Guide to task 1:
1) The requirement for the U-value with regard to cold bridges will be U - 15%.
2)Ri for walls: 0.13 m2K/W
Ru for walls: 0.04 m2K/W
