TRC SANDWICH SOLUTION FOR ENERGY RETROFITTING
Concerning energy improvement of existing façades, a favourable system involves prefabricated multilayer panels, made of internal insulation core and outer textile reinforced concrete layers. It is a convincing alternative to external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) and ventilated façades, and it meets all the requirements for façade systems. The main advantage is the possibility to apply the panel using a crane, without any scaffolding. The paper considers two solutions: the former uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) as insulating material; the latter substitutes EPS with an innovative green insulation material made of inorganic diatomite. The paper aims at comparing the solutions in terms of mechanical properties of the components and behaviour of the composite sandwich at lab-scale level. Numerical models, previously calibrated, will be instrumental for the discussion.
