Increasing the energy efficiency of buildings by thermal insulation

Abstract

In the current context of continued growth in energy prices worldwide and concern to support global efforts to improve the climate, insulation the exterior walls of the building is a well-known strategy to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. This paper presents the results of a study on increasing energy efficiency in collective residential buildings, as well as an analysis of movement of freezing point in the structure of external wall, when applying a further insulation on the outer surface of the wall.
