Thermal insulation of buildings is effective and easy to implement - this is the view of the FMI Mineral Wool Industry Association. Mineral wool can also help to achieve the climate targets in the building sector, writes the trade association on its website "der-daemstoff.de". To achieve this, however, the house must be insulated from the roof to the façade to the basement ceiling.
Mineral wool, a combination of glass wool and rock wool, can be used for thermal insulation. The aim of the measures is to reduce heating and cooling energy requirements in order to ultimately save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. According to the trade association, a study also shows that thermal insulation of buildings is worthwhile.
For example, interested parties can read in the study "Grey energy and grey emissions of insulation materials compared to savings potential" by the Munich Research Institute for Thermal Insulation that energy can be saved through thermal insulation and how much. The example calculations also take into account the year of construction of the buildings. Interested parties can download the complete study free of charge at der-daemmstoff.de.
