New Materials in Old Buildings - The Problem of Heat Flow and Vapour Diffusion through Walls (Facades)

The renovation of old buildings and the preservation of protected historic buildings can provide sufficient savings in thermal energy consumption. Most of old houses were constructed without any thermal insulation. The greatest savings can be achieved by thermal renovation of the facades. The renovation project of small “ Sokol” gym hall built 1933 in Zagreb (designed by the Croatian architect Egon Steinmann) shows how the problem of heat flow and vapour diffusion through walls (facades) can easily be solved by adequate use of new materials.
