1. Perform a preliminary analysis of the site
Of the two main types of insulation, namely acoustic insulation and thermal insulation, throughout this study we will focus on the renovation of the thermal insulation of an old industrial building and also the effective insulation of a new building. Sound insulation will be partially addressed when dealing with the floors and ceilings of the various buildings on the site.
1.1 Thermal diagnosis
Before starting insulation work on an industrial building, it is essential to begin by conducting an inventory, which involves carrying out a thermal assessment of the building(s). The objectives of this assessment are:
to look for leaks in roofs, walls, windows, heating and ventilation systems that cause energy waste;...
