energiplastering

Energiplastering is a concept related to the application of special plasters or coatings designed to enhance a building's thermal performance. These materials aim to improve insulation properties, reduce heat loss, and potentially contribute to energy savings. The principle behind energiplastering is to create a continuous thermal barrier on the building's exterior or interior surfaces.

These plasters often incorporate lightweight aggregates, insulating fibers, or vacuum-filled microspheres to lower their thermal conductivity. Some formulations may also include phase-change materials that can absorb and release heat, helping to regulate indoor temperatures more passively. The application process typically involves standard plastering techniques, but careful attention is paid to ensuring a uniform and seamless layer to prevent thermal bridging.

The effectiveness of energiplastering can depend on various factors, including the specific composition of the plaster, the substrate it is applied to, and the overall building design and construction. While offering potential benefits for energy efficiency, it is often considered alongside other insulation strategies. Further research and standardized testing are ongoing to fully evaluate its long-term performance and cost-effectiveness in different climatic conditions and building types.
