First thermal renovation of a very low carbon Knauf NEXTherm® ITEX EPS house in France

This is a relevant response recommended and implemented by the company B tab, a pioneer in the finishing trade with 65 years of experience in insulation, renovation and decoration. Today with 500 employees, QualiBat RGE, Iso 14001 and Ecovadis Bronze certified, B tab shines with 16 agencies in Franche-Comté, Burgundy, Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne.

The work carried out by the company B tab focused on the insulation of the envelope of the pavilion (attic, floors and walls) with the choice of thermal insulation from the outside (ITE) of the walls. Targeted results: the annual energy consumption of the property, established at 2.500 euros before its renovation, will be halved, to 1.121 euros. A substantial saving which is also coupled with a real aesthetic and financial enhancement of the property. An additional factor, ITE also promotes healthier indoor air.

Knauf NEXTherm®, an EPS insulation made from biomass

Manufactured from bio-naphtha and bio-gas resulting from the recovery of renewable biomass resources, Knauf NEXTherm® further reduces the environmental impact of Knauf EPS, particularly in terms of carbon emissions, and permanently inserts this insulation into the current construction methods, in particular renovation and their upcoming developments, with RE2020.

Knauf NEXTherm® ITEx, high technical performance and very low carbon for the most demanding facade sites

With the Knauf NEXTherm® ITEx range, all the advantages of Knauf PSE insulation for exterior insulation under plaster are retained: thermal performance, proven implementation, justified compliance, and a further reduced carbon footprint.

Thermal insulation from the outside with Knauf NEXTherm®: an asset for renovation projects

Faced with the aesthetic aging of the building stock and the poor thermal performance of these buildings, thermal insulation from the outside constitutes a solution with multiple gains: it guarantees the thermal comfort of the home, thanks to a homogeneous and high-quality insulation of the building. built; it embellishes the heritage, thanks to the recovery of the facades; it improves the living comfort of occupants, by eliminating thermal bridges and improving the quality of the indoor air.

With Knauf NEXTherm® ITEx, it improves the overall environmental impact of the renovation by reducing the carbon footprint of the insulation, supported by FDES. A responsible choice that combines new environmental performance and high technicalities of PES.

And for a clean renovation site, offcuts from the installed panels are collected on site by the Knauf Circular® service and recycled into new insulation products.
