Skepticism regarding ETICS on new multi-family residential buildings

Sure I know him; he's too militant for me. Apart from that, the abbreviation KF can stand for many things ;)

No no... KF can only stand for one thing :) at least in a thread about insulation...

That's true again .... just came from the dentist; probably affecting my logical thinking :oops:

How much I would like to respond here in detail (*sigh*). But I simply don't have the time. Also, the entire discussion tends to go in circles a bit. I count the owners of such houses among supporters (even those who basically have no idea about it) and the avoiders as opponents.

I find the reading "Background / February 2014 Hexabromocyclododecane - Answers to Frequently Asked Questions" by the Federal Environment Agency quite interesting.

Surely a rather cute understatement of the actual problem. ;)

Is certainly quite an understatement of the actual problem. ;)

It is definitely not a downplaying. HBCD is definitely not unproblematic. However, it is firmly bound in the EPS and does not simply dissolve from it to enter the environment. Furthermore, nothing remains of the HBCD after combustion. It is certainly not completely unproblematic, but panic is even less appropriate!

It is not hazardous waste, but a recyclable material. ;)

This discussion will always stir up emotions; for me, it is also hazardous waste. What supports this designation is that brominated insulation materials "must" be disposed of thermally to prevent harm to the environment. However, it is also true that—if processed carefully—no danger can arise for humans and animals; as long as the WDVS casing is not damaged. Interesting in all this discussion: a classic WDVS is initially cheap. Later, however, it becomes expensive because it is quite time-consuming to remove such insulation from the facade. From my subjective point of view, the question therefore arises as to why not just spend more money upfront and use natural insulation materials? Rhenish regards
