Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 is a simplified diagram showing the basic structure of a conventional building, wherein walls 2 supporting both sides of a roof structure 4 are shown, and end wall and floor structures have been omitted for clarity. In this example, the wall 2 is a solid wall supported on concrete foundation pads 6, the lower part 2a of the wall 2 being below ground level. The roof structure 4 is a conventional structure comprising a plurality of wooden trusses 7 . Roof tiles and other roof coverings have been removed from the roof structure 4 to expose the roof trusses 7 .

[0039] exist figure 2 In the first stage of the insulation method shown in , a vapor barrier membrane 8 is attached to the outer surfaces of the walls 2 and the roof structure 4 . For example, the vapor barrier film 8 may comprise a sheet of polyethylene material or any other suitable material. The vapor barrier film 8 is used to seal the building to prevent air leakage and prevent moisture from enter...

Abstract

A method of insulating a building that includes one or more existing external walls 2 and an existing roof structure 4 supported by the walls, comprises constructing a first external shell structure 24a that covers an outer surface of at least one external wall, said shell structure being spaced from the outer surface of the wall to provide a wall void 28 between the external wall and the shell structure. A second shell structure 24b is constructed that extends around or through (fig.15) the existing roof structure 4 and provides an enclosed roof void 26b that extends around or through the roof structure. The roof void 26b is interconnected with the wall void 26a. The wall void 26a and the roof void 26b are filled with an insulating material to provide a continuous insulating layer 28 extending through the wall and roof voids to eliminate thermal breaks between them. A vapour resistant membrane is preferably included between the external wall and the wall void and below the roof void.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of thermal insulation of buildings. The invention also relates to a thermally insulated building structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to buildings having thermal insulation structures and thermal insulation structures for buildings. Background technique [0002] Many existing buildings, especially older ones, have low levels of insulation to the level required for new construction. As a result, they are thermally inefficient, waste energy and / or provide occupant comfort. Therefore, there is a general need to increase the insulation level of existing buildings, both for comfort reasons and for energy saving considerations. [0003] Some existing buildings are constructed with hollow walls that can be filled with insulating materials such as foam. This increases the insulation level of the walls. Additionally, the level of insulation in a roof space can be increased by laying thick layers of f...
