Multilayer aerogel board technology

The BEEM-UP project has developed and deployed a multidimensional methodology within the whole process of refurbishment where building owners, technology providers, construction companies and researchers collaborate to demonstrate successful methods for deep retrofit with the potential for large-scale replication.

A multilayer aerogel board has been developed by BASF for facades insulation under BEEM-UP project. The prototype is thinner than standard EPS and has high fire resistance. This solution can be used as a new exterior insulation system or as a repair system for damaged and already existent insulation systems.Aerogel solutions are used mainly in new eco-buildings for the time being. The advantage is that although the thickness of the insulation. consists in a couple of centimetre, the k-values are in order of 0,06 W/m2K and 0,14 W/m2K. This product is a promising niche within a highly competitive market.

The BEEM-UP project has demonstrated that reducing the energy consumption by more than 75% through deep energy refurbishment is indeed feasible in the long term. BEEM-UP project has been inserted in the promising technologies by the European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP).
