The publication has been prepared by Anape (National Association of the industry of EPS) and has been developed under the tutelage of the Convention signed in 2006 between Anape and Idae Institute for diversification and energy saving) for the development of a set of actions in the field of promotion and dissemination of the thermal insulation of buildings, as an essential step in energy savings.
The guide aims to help owners, promoters and prescribers, both public and private to renovate the buildings and houses in an efficient way energetically and with solutions from components or systems which are based on the expanded polystyrene (EPS).
It is the first technical guide is published by different families of insulating products that the Idae will be published progressively.
As laid down in Directive 2002/91/EC, and in Royal Decree 47/2007 where establishing compulsory certification of energy efficiency in the buildings of new construction and which were rehabilitated or whose reform project from 2007the energy improvement of buildings has become a key element in the pursuit of sustainability.
EPS
The EPS is regarded as the insulating material with greater versatility of applications (a fact of particular relevance in rehabilitation work) and with less environmental impact in the life of the building, which is 100 percent recyclable. In addition its values of thermal insulation are optimal in all types of buildings and climatic zones.
In the words of Angel Teso, Director of the Association, "through the presentation and publication of this document, Anape wants disclosure of versatility, quality and feasibility of EPS applications in construction, particularly in the rehabilitation market".
