Global Performance of Sustainable Thermal Insulating Systems with Cork for Building Facades

Abstract: : Rehabilitation of facades may be carried out with the application of External Thermal Insulation Systems (ETICS). Their main contribution is the increase of the energy efficiency of buildings. In the literature, hygrothermal, impact and fire performance studies have been carried out on several systems with different insulation materials, such as expanded polystyrene, mineral wool and extruded polystyrene foam insulation. Due to the growing concern with the environment, systems are being developed with more s… Show more

“…Concerning the values of thermal conductivity reported in the literature in the study [14], we can confirm that our value of about 0.11 W/mK is lower than those recorded for 18 vol% pyrolyzed cork, i.e., 0.56 W/mK. The absence of cork waste pre-treatments and thermal curing of the final composites allowed us to indicate the mixes optimized in this work as sustainable fire-resistant insulation materials with a reduced environmental footprint, when compared to expanded polystyrene systems [34].…”

“…Cork is used as a good insulation in winter. Sound insulation is also managed by these cork boards and panels [17]. Natural clay is also used for plastering walls.…”

“…Furthermore, they offer great flexibility for the thickness, which can be easily adapted to the dimensional restriction that the intervention may require and it can be adjusted near valuable decorations. In addition, thermal renders require no anchoring points or adhesive layers, as opposed to ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) solutions [14], which have been extensively used in the last decade to insulate new and existing buildings [15]. Furthermore, thermal renders can be applied by mechanical spraying, which facilitates the application [16].…”
