Energy conservation course with a high level of comfort
The cost of fossil fuels such as crude oil, natural gas, and coal is steadily increasing. In addition, progressive climate change caused by greenhouse gases is taking tangible form. In particular, old buildings today consume approximately three times more energy than newly constructed ones. This is mainly due to the fact that half of all existing buildings are still not protected or insufficiently protected against energy loss.
Energy is becoming more expensive and is no longer available in unlimited quantities, so it’s increasingly important to be economical. Sustainable and affordable solutions to save energy and reduce demand must be implemented in practice, as this is the only way to consistently reduce costs, emissions, and dependence. The European Green Deal is a very relevant and ambitious project in the field of climate protection. The EU prioritizes climate policy, focusing particularly on energy- and resource-efficient construction and renovation.
A dry and smartly insulated building provides a healthy, comfortable, and environmentally friendly home. Well-insulated walls and windows have pleasantly warm surfaces and guarantee a high level of living comfort. The coziness we feel is the result of the interaction of various temperatures: walls, windows, and air. If the walls are well-insulated and warm, significantly less heating is required.
By increasing the wall surface temperature by just 1 °C, the room temperature can be lowered by 2 °C while maintaining the same comfort level, which on average allows saving about 6% of energy costs.
At the same time, the amount of energy required to heat the room is reduced. The required heating phases are significantly shortened. The wall materials of internally insulated building elements do not heat up, and the room can be used at a comfortable temperature in a short time. This once again significantly optimizes energy use.
In unrenovated old buildings, improving thermal insulation can save significant amounts of heat energy and, consequently, costs.
There are strong arguments in favor of internal insulation:
Solution
We present the iQ-Therm 2.0 – 30 / 50 / 80 / 120 system from the company REMMERS.
This is a capillary-active internal insulation system made of rigid polyurethane foam for creating high-performance, vapour-permeable internal insulation with capillary moisture transfer.
This insulation is more durable and much easier to install than conventional internal insulation, as it doesn’t require an internal film as a vapor barrier. Since 2009, iQ-Therm 2.0 has been the benchmark for capillary-active internal insulation because it combines two highly specialized materials into a perfect system in a simple and ingenious way. The high-performance insulation material is combined with a special mineral mortar with a high absorption capacity.
The insulation material in slab form was perforated at regular intervals, and the continuous panels were filled with mortar at the factory. The result was a composite material with high insulating effect and simultaneous capillary activity, without the use of vapor barriers.
If condensate forms in such a system because the temperature drops below the dew point in winter, or if rain penetrates through the facade, the moisture is not retained by the iQ-Therm film, but is returned into the room air through the mortar in the wall section, without causing any damage. A special climate-regulating plaster on the inner side serves to distribute moisture over the entire surface, from which it evaporates into the room.
How the technology works – step by step:
1. Preparation
2. Separation strip
3. Application of the first horizontal adhesive layer
4. Installation of the first row of iQ-Therm 2.0 strips into the adhesive layer
5. Continuation of internal insulation with strips
6. Application of climate-regulating plaster/filler

Frequently Asked Questions
How to install electrical cables?
How to install heating and hot water pipes?
How to hang paintings or similar items?
What to use for mounting, for example, wall cabinets?
For precise, thermal-bridge-free mounting of heavy loads (e.g., kitchen cabinets, stair railings, etc.), mounting cylinders from Remmers made of rigid polyurethane compound can be used.
Does the system also work in bathrooms?
Can the system be tiled over?
However, since tiles are practically impermeable, it makes little sense to install the system under tiles. Narrow joints may be considered an exception.
How are insulation strips cut to size?
All standard woodworking tools such as hand and table circular saws with dust extraction can be used.
Can the system be wallpapered?
What are the surface design options?
Can iQ-Therm 2.0 be used in basements and cellars?
Can iQ-Therm 2.0 be used for ceiling insulation?
