Journal ArticleDOI
Vacuum insulation panels for building applications—Continuous challenges and developments
TL;DR: The main topics addressed therein are the aging of the VIP as a whole as well as the role of the components, under different long term hygrothermal stress conditions as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical parameter study of the thermal behaviour of a gypsum plaster board at fire temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between the measured and the calculated temperature evolutions within a gypsum plaster board subject to fire has been carried out to quantify the individual influence of different quantities and their deviations on the calculated thermal behavior of this material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hints for an additional aging factor regarding the thermal performance of vacuum insulation panels with pyrogenic silica core
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume a redistribution of Si and O atoms around the neck of SiO2 particles, enhancing the structural heat transfer trough the SiO 2 skeleton as a third aging factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and moisture evolution beneath an aerogel based rendering applied to a historic building
Thomas Stahl,Thomas Stahl,Karim Ghazi Wakili,Karim Ghazi Wakili,Severin Hartmeier,Emil Franov,Walter Niederberger,Mark Zimmermann +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an inhabited mill in Sissach/Switzerland has been retrofitted by using a highly insulating external rendering containing SiO 2 aerogel and mainly mineral admixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy efficient retrofit of a prefabricated concrete panel building (Plattenbau) in Berlin by applying an aerogel based rendering to its façades
Karim Ghazi Wakili,Christoph Dworatzyk,Maximilian T. Sanner,Andreas Sengespeick,Mikael Paronen,Thomas Stahl +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first application of a commercially available aerogel based rendering to the external facades of a 30m-high building made of prefabricated concrete panels (Plattenbau) for energy efficient retrofit has been reported.
