their relative importance is all the more crucial.They are also likely Example 2:Thermal break used for the anchors of the sheeting
to cause risks with respect to the building’s physics and hygiene surrounding the building
(formation of surface condensation and the emergence of mould).
Risk-bearing joints are therefore looked at in detail. Solution:Thermal break using a 50 mm block of purenit©
(high-density PUR 3) for each anchor.

– The positioning and properties of the windows and glazing play
a major role in increasing the comfort of a building’s occupants.
A glazed opening must first and foremost provide visual comfort
through establishing a link between inside and outside. Glare
needs to be monitored and the amount of natural light maximized
to reduce the need for artificial lighting.
