Having to deal with poorly insulated houses is not at all unusual, especially if we are talking about buildings that date back a number of years. Over the course of your professional life, you will undoubtedly have heard lines uttered like:
“Living in our house is becoming unbearable: it’s freezing in winter and we spend far too much on heating, while in summer, no amount of air conditioning can keep us cool”
Kassner Goodpeed Aarchitects
the words of someone who contacted you for a consultancy on renovation work. What kind of answer would we like you to give to a similar question? That you have the answer that suits of course, and we at Imola Tecnica could be the ones to provide you with this answer. How? Thanks to the all-over, unvaried insulation guaranteed by our ventilation system! Ventilated cladding is designed specifically to protect and oversee the structure of a building thanks to the excellent aesthetic quality and unbeatable advantages from an energy saving point of view (what we like to refer to as functional beauty). The use of this system on a façade – both on new-builds as well as when renovating existing buildings – brings considerable advantages in terms of durability of the walls as well as energy efficiency; especially in the case of vertical rise buildings which are isolated and highly exposed.
This cladding system involves a cavity between the wall and cladding which provides effective natural ventilation (this is where the term ventilated façade stems from). It generates a considerable reduction in heat and humidity and notably improves comfort.
During warm spells, in thermal energy terms, the ventilated walls – thanks to the partial reflection of solar heat from the cladded wall and especially thanks to the ventilation between the wall and cladding which is created when the temperature outside rises – can reduce the heat load on the building, producing a considerable reduction in air conditioning costs. Vice versa, during colder weather, the ventilated façades can keep in the heat with a considerable saving in terms of heating, given that with low temperatures, the ventilation comes to a halt.
Precisely because of the numerous benefits and their innovation from a technological point of view, the Imola Tecnica ventilated applications are becoming increasingly more popular in the modern architectural world; so, we are convinced that if you get in touch with us we will be able to come up with interesting, futuristic projects together.
