Energy upgrading of existing buildings often presents a practical problem: the external façade cannot always be insulated because of architectural restrictions, condominium rules or boundary-distance constraints. In these cases, an effective solution is an insulating internal lining wall. TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia®… Continue Reading…
