Abstract
Building partitions (walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors) with appropriate insulating properties play a fundamental role in energy-saving construction. From 2021, the maximum value of the thermal conductivity coefficient U [W/m2K] for vertical external walls is 0.20 [W/m2K] in Poland. This value can be achieved by using an insulating layer of an appropriate thickness. However, a dozen or so centimeters of the insulating layer reduces the living space inside the building. This is important, especially in the case of multi-family buildings. The problem may be solved by using a thinner material with better insulating properties. Such a material may be a microsphere thermal insulation coating, which has become more and more common recently. In order to verify the impact of insulating microsphere thermal insulation coatings on the building's energy efficiency, comprehensive in situ tests of the thermal properties of such a coating were carried out in the energy efficiency test range at the Building School Complex in Tarnów. The Energy Efficiency Testing Ground was established on the premises of the Building School Complex (ZSB) in Tarnów in 2014 as part of the implementation of the Krakow University of Technology project - Małopolska Laboratory of Energy Efficient Construction (MLBE). The task of the modern laboratory (MLBE) built on the campus of the Cracow University of Technology is to test modern technologies dedicated to energy-efficient buildings in laboratory conditions. The Energy Efficiency Test Site is to provide the opportunity to test modern technologies in natural use conditions. Tests are performed in model buildings, the partitions of which are erected in various technologies selected by scientists from the Cracow University of Technology. A small research building was built on the site, in which "in situ" tests were carried out on the thermal properties of the microsphere thermal insulation coating. Such coatings are more and more often on the market of building materials, and their producers and distributors promise a large impact of coatings on the thermal insulation of buildings and thus reduced heating costs. In situ research was aimed at verifying the data presented by the producers of innovative coatings and analyzing the possibilities of using coatings in buildings in order to increase energy efficiency and comfort of use. The research included a comparative measurement of temperatures inside the building, the walls of which were covered with a microsphere thermal insulation coating. The air temperature difference between the coated zone and the reference zone was 1.5 [°C].
