1 PREVENTING THE LOSS OF ENERGY WITH EXTERNAL INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEM (EIFS) Dimitrios Moussios, Construction Polymers Europe, CREATING TOMORROW'S SOLUTIONS

2 AGENDA INTRODUCTION INTO THE WACKER GROUP MEGA TRENDS THE EXTERIOR INSULATION FINISHING SYSTEM (EIFS) ENERGY SAVING ASPECTS OF EIFS NORMS AND REGULATIONS FOR EIFS THE WACKER ACADEMY Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 1

3 INTRODUCTION INTO THE WACKER GROUP FAMILY OWNED WACKER CHEMIE AG OVER 90 YEARS OF SUCCESS Wacker Chemie AG Founded in 1914 by Dr. Alexander Wacker Headquartered in Munich WACKER Group (2009) Sales: 3.7 billion EBITDA: 607 million R&D: 164 million Investments: 740 million Employees: 15,618 Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 2

4 INTRODUCTION INTO THE WACKER GROUP PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS FOR KEY GLOBAL SECTORS Application Industries Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 3

5 MEGA TRENDS ARE DRIVING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND OPEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONSTRUCTION TRENDS ENERGY WATER GROWTH GREEN TECHNOLOGY LIVING CONDITIONS Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 4

6 WACKER PRODUCTS CONTRIBUTE TO RESOURCE SAVING, SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING ENERGY SAVINGS Energy conservation in buildings ADVANCED BUILDING Improving water supplies GREEN BUILDING Enhancing living conditions, saving natural resources Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 5

7 CLIMATE CHANGE IS OMNIPRESENT - SAVING ENERGY QUICKLY IS CRUCIAL FOR STOPPING GLOBAL WARMING Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 6

8 EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION CONTRIBUTES THE MAJOR PART OF SAVING ENERGY IN BUILDINGS roof insulation = 11% solar panels = 7% heat-absorbing glass = 11% modern heating systems = 12% External Wall Insulation = 30% insulation of cellar = 12% Source: WDVS-Fachverband, 2006 Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 7

9 LARGEST ENERGY-CONSUMING SECTOR IS BUILDINGS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 50% OF ENERGY USE energy consumption in total energy consumption in buildings 20% 8% 7% 5% 8% other lightning cooking 10% electrial appliances 30% 15% water heating 30% 12% 55% space heating Industrial buildings Tertiary building Industry Dwellings Transport Source: DG TREN European Commission Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 8

10 LARGEST ENERGY-CONSUMING SECTOR IS BUILDINGS EXAMPLE TUNISIA Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 9

11 EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEM - THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF FACADE INSULATION Energy-saving lamp Appliances Glazing E to C rated Heating controls A/B rated boilers Loft insulation Cavity wall insulation External Solid Wall wall Insulation insulation 0,00 2,00 4,00 6,00 8,00 10,00 Energy Saving MWh/yr Source: DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs): Energy, cost and carbon saving calculations for the draft EEC Illustrative Mix, Jan 2007 Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 10

12 THE POWER OF EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEMS: SUPERIOR WAY TO INSULATE YOUR WALLS Scientific measurements are available to calculate energy loss Energy loss through a wall is measured as U-value = W / m2 K Energy unit (Watt) that transfers per square meter and per hour for each temperature degree difference between inside and outside The lower the U-value the better the insulation Concrete wall (20 cm) Aerated lightweight concrete (20 cm) EIFS: Concrete wall (20 cm) with insulation panel 1 cm Plaster 1 cm Plaster EIFS with EPS (10 cm) U value: 3,70 U value: 0,66 U value: 0,36 Source: Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 11

13 EIFS: THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF FACADE INSULATION 1. Exterior surface 2. Especially formulated adhesive 3. Insulation board a. Rockwool board b. Extruded polystyrene board c. Expanded polystyrene board 4. Mechanical fastener. 5. A durable water resistant base coat. 6. Fiber glass mesh. 7. Polymer modified cement based mortar 8. Primer moisture barrier 9. Durable and flexible decorative finish Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 12

14 EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEM (EIFS) OFFERS MANY BENEFITS BY creating comfort and well-being in your home... saving energy (cost) for both heating and cooling... increasing the design possibilities on facades Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 13

15 EXTERNAL INSULATION FINISH SYSTEMS (EIFS) ENLARGE THE DESIGN-POSSIBILITIES ON FACADES bossage engineering brick masonry (brick slip) tiles Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 14

16 EXAMPLE GERMANY: EIFS CONTRIBUTES TO INDEPENDENCY FROM OIL AND GAS IMPORTS Savings during the last 50 years reached with EIFS: approx sqm installed EIFS = approx litres saved heating oil approx tons saved CO 2 approx saved heating costs (oil price 2007) yearly potential of savings by modernizing 3 % of dwellings: energy savings: tons of heating oil savings of CO²: tons reduction of heating costs: Source: market study Quo vadis WDVS Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 15

17 ENERGY SAVING CONSTRUCTION GAINS IMPORTANCE WORLDWIDE insulation installed area of EIFS global trend: energy saving increasing energy costs increasing 670 ecological E awareness shortage of energy (e.g. China) governmental support of energy saving measures in buildings potential 8 of renovation P and restoration Mio. m² P P P Germany Russia China installed aread of EIFS in China sees boom due to legal restraints increase of 10 % in middle and Eastern Europe, too due to climate change, insulation also against heat Source: market Quo vadis WDVS own estimations Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 16

18 NORMS AND REGULATIONS FOR EIFS THE MOST IMPORTANT GUIDELINE ETAG 004 Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 17

19 STANDARDS AND NORMS FOR EIFS CRUCIAL CRITERIA TO ENSURE THE DURABILITY OF EIFS Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 18

20 STANDARDS AND NORMS FOR EIFS THE EOTA WALL (ETAG ) Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 19

21 STANDARDS AND NORMS FOR EIFS NEW EOTA WALL - BETTER SERVICE FOR THE INDUSTRY Two individual walls at the climate chamber tested at the same time (appr. 24 tests/year) Test wall preparation for the hygro-thermal test Dimitrios Moussios, LBE, , Slide 20
