Halmi, an ETICS from around 1988? Back then, they were still in their infancy and quite thin and did not insulate nearly as well as the 16 cm ones today. I did some reading on it. What I understood is that our monolithic facade constantly lets some heat pass from the inside to the outside, so the plaster surface outside is always slightly warmer than the air and thus dries off rain, fog, and dew. With today's thick ETICS facade, which is energetically certainly superior to our monolithic one, it even happens that it is colder on the surface than the outside air and thus dew forms, which algae use to settle. Why even colder, I haven't understood. K.
