Insulating Materials: Principles, Materials, Applications (Detail Practice)

Auswahl und Anwendung von Dämmstoffen Insulating materials remain as important as ever. The range of available kinds is constantly increasing. Thanks to their heat-insulating properties, they help save heating and cooling energy and reduce CO~2~ emissions. Detail Practice: Insulating Materials offers a comprehensive catalogue of insulating materials for use in construction. Notes on the individual types of insulating materials provide information on the raw materials they contain as well as their typical attributes, areas of application, and delivery forms. Tables with physical characteristic values and indications regarding health and environmental safety enable the reader to compare different insulating materials. An overview of European regulations and norms pertaining to insulating materials, with notes on product labeling and certification, helps with the process of planning and publishing invitations to tender. Criteria are presented for selecting the appropriate insulating material for the job. In addition, a nuanced description of the environmental effects of insulating materials opens up an enormous optimization potential for using them sustainably. * Includes a clearly organized catalogue of insulating materials * Pictographs illustrate the use profiles of individual materials * Provides up-to-date data on the environmental performance of insulating materials and on health and environmental safety Insulating materials remain as important as ever.

Die Bedeutung von Dämmstoffen ist ungebrochen hoch. Das Angebot steigt kontinuierlich. Durch ihre wärmedämmende Wirkung tragen sie zur Einsparung von Heiz- und Kühlenergie sowie zur Reduktion des CO2-Austoßes bei. Detail Practice Insulating Materials bietet einen umfassenden Katalog von Dämmstoffen für den Hochbau. Erläuterungen zu den einzelnen Dämmstoffarten geben Aufschluss über enthaltene Rohstoffe, typische Eigenschaften, Anwendungsbereiche und Lieferformen. Tabellen mit physikalischen Kennwerten und Angaben zum Brandverhalten sowie Hinweise zur Gesundheits- und Umweltverträglichkeit machen die Dämmstoffe vergleichbar. Ein Überblick über die europäischen Rechtsvorschriften sowie Dämmstoffnormen mit Erläuterungen zur Produktkennzeichnung und -zertifizierung hilft bei der Planung und Ausschreibung. Für die Auswahl des passenden Dämmstoffes werden Kriterien für Konstruktion und Anwendung vorgestellt. Ergänzend hierzu eröffnet die differenzierte Betrachtung der ökologischen Wirkungen von Dämmstoffen ein großes Optimierungspotenzial für ihren nachhaltigen Einsatz. Ein umfassender Überblick zu Dämmstoffen für den Hochbau und Leitfaden fürderen richtige Auswahl und Anwendung. Dieser Band liefert Informationen zu den enthaltenen Rohstoffen, typischen Eigenschaften, Anwendungsbereichen und Lieferformen sowie Angaben zuphysikalischen Kennwerten, Gesundheits- und Umweltverträglichkeit Offers a comprehensive catalogue of insulating materials for use in construction.
