Solar Insulation
Abstract
"Solar Insulation" Ing. Karl Kleebinder & Erwin Schwarzmüller DI Using building mass of external walls for thermal storage and heat distribution 2007 measuring project was granted by FFG. Solar insulation was mounted at 2 walls of Mr. Kleebinder ́s office. 2008 patent was granted to Mr. Kleebinder convincing swisspor Ltd. and Ernstbrunner Kalktechnik Ltd. to undergo technical admission with the OIB together with Mr. Kleebinder according ÖTZ guidelines. Recently tests have proven positive on fire resistance at Ma39. “Solar Insulation” utilizes the mass of exterior walls for heat storage and heat transmission. Gains from solar hybrid collectors are transported by canals cut into insulation plates. Refurbishment projects so can realize passive- house-standard since thermal bridges, which cannot be eliminated in renovations, can be compensated by solar gains. The solar yield in solar hybrid collectors may be extended by 40% compared with standard collector, using the low temperature gains from 20°C upwards to warm the walls and storing the high temperature yield in water boilers. The system means a merge of application of insulation with heat and cold distribution and thus may convince owners of older houses to refurbishment since the steps to renovation do much lesser interfere with the habitat during renovation. It can also be applied on new buildings to increase comfort and the effectiveness of hybrid thermal solar collectors
