natureplus European Event Series 2024 - Kick - off webinar: Retrofitting the Building Shell

Описание: Kick-off webinar: Retrofitting the Building Shell - Focus on Insulation and Windows with Natural Materials

A key advantage of renovation over new construction is the significant savings in embodied energy. Targeted measures like insulating the building envelope and upgrading windows can further reduce energy consumption during use. That’s why this kick-off webinar, which also marks the first natureplus Masterclass, will focus on these two essential areas. Learn about practical material and planning solutions for insulation and window construction using sustainable materials in renovation contexts.

Join Dr. Arnaud Evrard (Senior scientific at ETHZ/Chair of Sustainable Construction) for valuable insights into natural (interior) insulation materials, their building physics characteristics, and the specific requirements and challenges they pose. Also, meet Judith Resch (Carpenter and Architect, Author of the book “Building Simply: Wooden Windows”), who will share with us the planning and design advantages that wooden windows offer in renovations. Learn with her how the concept of “simple“ building can be put into practice through the use of wood, while still meeting the highest standards. Afterwards, there will be time for your questions and lively discussions. In cooperation with Bundesverband ProHolzfenster.
