High energy costs but a low comfort level – a growing problem. Most of the houses in the European Union are more than 30 years old and do not offer the levels of comfort we expect today. We speak of "thermal comfort" when it is neither too cold nor too warm – in summer and winter. Perception of a “comfortable temperature” results from a small difference between interior ambient air temperature and that of the interior surfaces of the outer walls and windows. In these conditions, one can enjoy a homogeneous air temperature throughout the whole house or flat and the absence of annoying drafts. Older houses were built at a time when the building mentality was very different from that of today, and when there were no efficient thermal insulation materials readily available. Although a lot of energy is used to heat old houses or flats, they are overheated in summer and yet rarely become warm in winter. Despite occupants having to pay high energy bills, for cooling in summer and heating in winter, thermal comfort is nevertheless not achieved very often. In view of rapidly increasing energy prices, living in older houses may well become a very expensive "pleasure", notwithstanding the high consumption of natural resources and the emissions that burden our environment. ISOVER dry wall solution – The OPTIMA System Everyone looking for an efficient, yet easy and quick solution for renovating their own four walls needs look no further than the OPTIMA System from ISOVER. OPTIMA is a modern system for easy and rapid renovation or improvement of thermal and sound insulation. The system solution, with its superbly matched components make assembly simple and easy. When it is not possible to install facade or wall-cavity insulation, whether for technical, economic or social reasons (shared ownership), then insulating inside the building is strongly recommended. The OPTIMA System offers ideal solutions for the renovation and insulation of external walls from the inside. 3
