Preserving historical heritage is one of the most difficult challenges of our time. The issue of integrating the latest technologies to achieve energy balance lies at the intersection of architecture, building physics, and cultural heritage. Every year, the problem of finding a balance between authenticity and thermal modernization becomes more acute, shaping a field of scientific research in which there is an increasing search for interdisciplinary approaches.
The issue of energy efficiency in architecture and urban planning covers a wide range of scientific disciplines and practical areas, including legislative aspects, design methods, architectural history, ecology, construction economics, building physics, and urban planning. As current trends in urban development focus on improving energy efficiency as one of the key aspects of sustainable development, considerable attention is paid to analyzing the possibilities of integrating energy-saving technologies into the renovation of historic and residential buildings.
This article highlights the thermal characteristics of seven options for internal insulation on a historic brick wall using heat flux sensors (measuring the thermal conductivity coefficient), thermal imaging surveys, and internal wall temperature measurements. The insulation materials include thermal paint, aerogel, cork lime, hemp lime, calcium silicate board, wood fiber board, and PIR board. Their characteristics are compared with traditional lime plaster. In addition, their density and specific heat capacity are measured in the laboratory.
