Ventilated Facades
One possible technical solution to be considered for improving building energy efficiency is the fitting of a ventilated facade. This system also allows the look of a building to be revamped, along with other benefits for the facade such as extending its life, reducing maintenance requirements as compared to other systems, more efficient thermal and even acoustic behavior, or reducing moisture exchange and possible condensation between the interior and exterior by virtue of the ventilated cavity between the facing and the new facade.
The system works simply: contact between the cladding and the facing insulation is avoided, creating a ventilation gap allowing air to circulate between the two. With the chimney effect, the warm air inside is displaced upwards, reducing heat transfer to the interior.
Specialists in Energy Efficiency
In existing buildings it is important to have a specialist rehabilitation firm able to assess the condition of the wall facing, remedy any defects, and properly apply this technical solution.
At KALAM our special energy renovation division is experienced in fitting these systems, which also allow for a variety of finishes as regards materials and appearance. We have performed renovations with ceramic, stone, polymer concrete, composite, and other coverings that refresh a building’s look and enhance its value.
Savings and Processing of Energy Efficiency Grants
Thanks to this energy-saving system for buildings, residential energy demand is considerably reduced, making this a safe long-term investment.
At KALAM, we also have a team focused on the management of grants and the execution of energy efficiency projects as Energy Renovator. Our professionals handle the entire grant application process to ensure maximum benefit, including submission to various frameworks, project execution once the grants are obtained, and subsequent reporting upon completion to close the file.
