Insulating materials made from renewable raw materials and wood-fiber external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS)

Insulation materials made of wood, straw, hemp and other plants have been used for centuries. Yet much knowledge about these insulation materials has been lost in recent decades. This webinar provides an overview of established options, existing knowledge, and highlights a few recent research findings. Engineering processes for the production of insulation materials lead to materials with standardized properties. Together with old knowledge from several centuries of wood building tradition, they enable high-quality and durable constructions.
