How can one circumvent the Energy Saving Ordinance and avoid bureaucratic madness?

Where are we supposed to pick up our coffee?


Best regards in brief

You, dear Yvonnchen, shall first stay at home facing the wall.
At least until you get your tone under control.

As soon as that happens, you too (maybe even especially YOU) are very warmly invited for a coffee. But then bring your camera. Because here every week there are some groups who take pictures of nature. I think there are some amazing birds to be seen.

Best regards

Primarily, the goal is to make surface temperatures or temperature differences visible. A well-insulated wall, for example, has almost the outside temperature, while the window is naturally not insulated as well and is therefore yellow or red. This is done in winter because there are no or hardly any differences in temperature visible when it is 25 degrees outside.

Hi Peanuts74,

ah ok. Interesting.

What do you do then, or what conclusions do you draw when you have the temperature differences in front of you during nighttime/cold periods?

Example: Suppose I have a house made of natural stone. We are talking about a wall of it now. This wall has no window or anything!

This natural stone construction "insulates" the house according to the energy saving ordinance, without additional insulation.
This wall is then warm/red in the evening and cold/blue during the day.

What do I conclude from that?
For me, what you conclude always comes across like this:
"Ha! Outer wall is red/warm, so you are heating the street. In other words, add insulation!"
Even though everything is actually fine.

Thanks for your patience!

that makes no sense, neither that a natural stone insulates according to the energy saving ordinance, nor that it is blue in the morning and red in the evening. apart from that, measurements are always taken in the morning.

The outside of the wall should always be cold in winter. With the WBK one can rather detect thermal bridges. For example, with Ytong walls, one can recognize the intermediate ceilings, even if the edges are insulated, because the (non-insulating) concrete rests on them and the house is not completely "wrapped" like with KS with Styrofoam.

ah ok. So we note: There is no natural stone variant that insulates solely according to the Energy Saving Ordinance. So the stone must be combined. Does an air chamber and a second stone layer count towards this? And the recording is done in the morning... But then the stone wall is relatively cooled and should not appear red/warm? Somehow I'm going in circles...
