In the next few years, the ecological and energetic requirements for building envelopes will be further tightened. The use of conventional materials would cause wall constructions to become increasingly thicker. To counter this development, new types of construction involving micro- or nano-structural materials facilitate slimmer building elements due to their high-grade properties regarding the reduction of ther- mal conductivity and the increase of stability, thermal capacity and quality.
