Kind of insulation: Insulation
of the outside walls of a new, wooden house |
Construction: Planning and
execution supervision: Lichtblau Architects, Munich |
Contact: Florian Lichtblau,

VIP product: WACKER CERAMICS,
Kempten |
Location: A new semi-detached
house in Munich |
Date of realization: January
2002 |
Funding: Bavarian State Ministry
of Economics, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology |
Description of the construction: A solid,
wooden, lowest-energy house was built whereby the highly-efficient
insulation was realized with slim and architectonically high-grade
constructions. The structure permits defect VIPs to be replaced.
The U-value of the wall, which has a total thickness of less
than 20 cm, is only 0.14 W/(m²K). To minimize
thermal bridges it was necessary to use customized VIPs. Figure
2 depicts the wall construction. The majority of VIPs measured
100 x 105 x 4 cm3. VIPs
were also integrated into the roof and the front door.
