Proprietà termiche delle murature

The recently revised European standard EN 1745 describes methods for the determination of the thermal conductivity of solid masonry units, mortars, masonry units with formed voids and “composite” masonry units, i.e. masonry unit incorporating additional material in the voids, such as thermal insulation. The determination of the “dry” and “design” thermal conductivity values can be defined based on tabulated data, measurements, calculations or a combination of these. The main novelty of the new version lies in the inclusion of a method for the determination of the thermal design values of composite masonry elements. More details in this article.
