“…In order to assess the performance of the apparatus, the thermal conductivity of a 25 mm thick sample of expanded polystrene (180 mm×130 mm) of known thermal conductivity (0.033 W/(m·K)) was used. Thermal conductivity of the reference polystrene sample was 0.032 W/(m·K), thereby proving that the apparatus can measure thermal conductivity of materials even with very low  with good accuracy [O'Flaherty & Alam, 2018]. Initially, two samples were tested for the Control render and 30% Hemp shiv/lime which gave very good repeatability.…”

“…When using a vacuum insulation panel with a thickness of 40 mm, it is possible to reach the passive house standard for the thermal insulation parameters of vertical walls [28]. As a result, vacuum insulation panels have considerable potential when it comes to the effective thermal insulation of building envelopes in the near future [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

This study is devoted to the possibility of using advanced insulation materials, such as Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP), in the insulation and reconstruction of buildings, in connection with the green elements that are installed on the facade in the case of the use of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). The use of VIP as part of the insulation system will result in a significant reduction in the required thickness of the insulation layer. In turn, the reduced overall thickness of the system will allow for easier direct anchoring of the elements of the green facade through the insulating layer to the base of the structure. The research carried out proves that, by using VIP in the insulation system (with a VIP thickness of 30 mm in combination with 20 mm of extruded polystyrene XPS), the thermal insulation properties can be significantly improved and, thus, the thickness of the insulation system can be reduced to 1/3 of the thickness of conventional insulation (while achieving the same thermal resistance), thereby enabling the anchoring of green elements on the surface of such an insulation system.

The aim of this study is to develop a universal method for the unequivocal selection of the optimal combination of components determining the energy efficiency of buildings by means of an introduced global building energy consumption indicator. The basis of this method is a multi-criteria optimization of the components influencing the energy efficiency of buildings. The method requires the development of a detailed description of the set of components influencing the energy efficiency of buildings and the definition of the analysis criteria. The following analysis criteria were adopted: relative annual demand for final energy, cost, durability, and investment outlays payback time. The normalized values of these criteria are calculated in relation to the structure of a reference building. The proposed method makes it possible to explicitly indicate the most advantageous solution from the point of view of the weighted share of the individual criteria. The verification of the method was presented on the basis of the thermo modernization case study analysis for the adopted reference building. As a result, the most advantageous variant of modernization was determined, defined by the lowest value of the global building energy consumption indicator. A high effectiveness of the proposed method has been shown in relation to both the selection of the modernization option and the assessment of the individual component share in each modernization solution.
