| Advantages of the Ventilated Facade |
|
Building Benefits • Provides optimal hygrothermal performance for the best working or living environment • Ensures the optimisation of heat flow through the building, coupled with the relevant insulation to acheive the required U-values • Heat attenuation and phasing • Exploits thermal inertia of the supporting wall Performance Benefits The circulation of air created inside the ventilated wall means that this type of solution has no rival in performance terms both in winter (maintaining the wall components in a dry condition and therefore ensuring an ideal thermal balance) and in summer where the heat waves incumbent on the wall and passing through the wall are controlled and maintained by the internal chamber of air. Economic Benefits Correct thermal insulation to ventilated wall systems saves energy costs all year round; meeting architectural targets. Cost savings result from the ease and speed of installation, a reduction in building maintenance costs and the inherent cost of the system components. Environmental Benefits Reduced impact on the environment through unrivalled levels of energy efficiency. |
