The key concepts of analysis such as transmittances and conductivities of materials and construction details will be presented, as well as how to calculate them in order to compare parameters of different intervention options.

We will analyze different types of insulating materials for foundations, facades, roofs, slabs in contact with the outside air either in floor or roof layout, as well as singular encounters such as the insulation of retaining walls in contact with the building and encounters with skids of installations and chimneys of buildings.

We will describe various ways to optimize other more unique types of constructions such as prefabricated buildings, with wood construction solutions either with light frame or with CLT panels, Steel-Frame or modular industrialized metal and concrete construction as future experiences with various innovative solutions.

We will complete the analysis of the different constructive details of the different envelope types by means of an in-depth thermographic study that will allow us to have a practical knowledge of the energetic reality of the proposed solutions.

The key concepts of analysis will be presented, such as the technical data of the composition of carpentry and glazing, transmittances, air permeability, water tightness, wind resistance, as well as how to calculate them in order to compare parameters of different intervention options.

In addition, the types of existing glazing, their composition and the optimization of each composition according to the technical requirements of the work will be analyzed.

We will describe the importance of solar protection, analyzing the different types depending on the layout and the optimization and uniqueness of each opening based on the technical requirements of the site.

We will describe the latest high energy performance carpentries offered by the market and the trends of the sector, as well as singular cases of technical value.
