The Quality of ETICS in the Context of Energy and Social Changes (Case Study)
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Method of Study
- Selection of urbanized area with housing development and selection of the building (field survey);
- Visual inspection of selected objects and diagnostics including examination of the influence of external factors on the growth of microorganisms (field survey);
- Sampling and microscopic survey of the surface of external plasters (diagnostics);
- Laboratory analysis of collected samples, definition of the type of microorganisms (diagnostics);
- Comparison and evaluation.
3. Theoretical Basis
3.1. Analysis and Evaluation of Apartment Building Number 1
3.2. Analysis and Assessment of Apartment Building Number 2
4. Results and Discussion
4.1. Results of the Apartment Building Number 1
4.2. Results of the Apartment Building Number 2
4.3. Technological Aspects of Exterior ETICS Facades
4.4. Remarks
- Diagnostic aspects prior to the actual use of ETICS or before the application of protective photocatalytic coatings following the recommended standards and methodologies;
- Diagnostics and laboratory analyses of ETICS surfaces, which are affected by micro cracks, to determine whether these create the potential for the growth of carcinogenic fungi under external plaster, and to eliminate the possible potency of allergens;
- Environmental contexts in the given urbanized housing development zone.
