Comparative Analysis of Enclosing Facade Structures in Terms of Energy Efficiency
摘要
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the energy efficiency of the structure depending on the various options of the facade enclosing system. The variability of the facade system consists in considering several types of thermal insulation material. The following materials are selected for comparison: mineral wool, glass wool, and XPS insulation. The comparative analysis is based on the consideration of the total heat loss of the building, if the remaining parameters of the object remain unchanged, as well as on the basis of separate data on carbon emissions for each material under consideration. Based on the results obtained, conclusions are drawn about a more energy-efficient design with minimal impact on the environment.
