Afternoon, Session Block C3
16:00 Retrofitting the Building Envelope
Chair: Tobias Henzler, University of Stuttgart, Germany
Retrofitting the building envelope of SME industrial buildings: Risk analysis
- Different retrofit insulation methods for existing envelopes of SME industrial buildings
- Hygrothermal simulations and risk analysis of interstitial condensation
- Heat loss through thermal bridges and the risk of surface condensation and mold growth
Transformative modernization: Lessons learned from a renovation of a 1929 university building
- New building skin as an integrated part of the overall building energy performance
- Condensation mitigation and thermal performance challenges
- Optimization of custom façade shapes and structural components during design process
Energy-saving potential using adaptive building envelopes for building refurbishment
- Simulation methods for adaptive building envelopes
- Energy demand of different building types
- Comparison of different insulation systems
Retrofitting the building envelope for enhanced seismic resistance and energy efficiency
- Inorganic textile-based composites
- Textile reinforced mortar jacketing
- Evaluating financial feasibility and payback period
Retrofitting of corrugated asbestos roofing panels with metal roofing systems
- Many corrugated asbestos panels leak and require constant maintenance
- It is cost prohibitive to abate and replace these panels
- Leave in place and retrofit with new metal roofing
Integrated smart envelope module for high-rise residential building retrofit
- Integration of passive and active systems into a modular envelope unit
- Design for remodeling old, high-rise multi-family buildings
- Modular, pre-fabricated façade system that can be installed in one day
