Advantages of thermally insulate a House
Many old buildings have a heat requirement of more than 200 kWh / (m²a). Expressed in terms of diesel oil, this means that they are needed approximately 20 litres of fuel for a period of heating per square meter of living space per year. The amount of gas equivalent would be about 10 m3 of gas per square metre per year.
Therefore, a single-family house with 150 m2 heated living space and a requirement for heating of 200 kWh / (m2 to) consumes approximately 3,000 litres of diesel fuel or 3,000 m3 of gas by heating period.
These figures can be significantly reduced thanks to energy improvement measures. Studies show that you can save more than 50% in energy very easily by means of a thermal insulation (source: Institut Wohnen and Umwelt). The money spent exclusively for the thermal insulation is often recovered only within a period of heating. The environmental benefits are evident.
In this sense, Basf AG manufactures Neopor polystyrene granules containing a bloated agent-shaped, and is therefore expandable. Black Pearl-shaped particles are then converted into blocks, panels or molded parts of foam of grey silver through companies that use conventional EPS machines.
It's a new technology that allows the improvement of the thermal insulation of the foam panels made of Neopor compared with excellent thermal properties of rigid foams, Styropor.
