Super Insulation Materials—An Application to Historical Buildings

The main purpose of this paper is to present the use of super thermal insulation materials for a historical building through a calculation-based case study. The development of the insulation materials is based on the objective of making buildings as energy efficient as possible, and the energy loss...

In the case of historical buildings, it is particularly difficult to solve insulation issues, as the building cannot lose its former appearance.
