BuildTog Project in Darmstadt - External thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) with insulation materials made of Neopor^®

Create architectural freedom - with energy-efficient and cost-effective construction: this was the objective of the BuildTog project in Darmstadt, Germany. Using thermal insulationmade of Neopor^®, it was possible to accommodate the 37 flats inone building envelope with 0.26 W/m²K.

• BuildTog project of the EURHONET (European Housing Network): new generation of residential buildings
• Objective:
  • Best energy efficiency and cost-effective construction
  • High-quality architecture
  • Optimizing planning methods and replicability
• In Darmstadt: 37 apartments on four floors and a penthouse level (total living space: 3,600 m²;
• Quality of the insulated building envelope: 0.26 W/m²;*K
• Thickness of external insulation: 0.12 W/m²;*K (26 cm of Neopor^® 031)
