Facades, facade systems and insulation materials

U završnom radu obrađeni su fasadni sustavi, te njihove prednosti i mane, te materijali koji se koriste kod izvedbe fasade. Naglasak je stavljen i na samu izvedbu fasade odnosno pravila izrade, a samim time i na tehničke propise. Razrađeni su materijali koji se koriste kao i njihove karakteristike. Naime, građevine također moraju biti energetski učinkovite, odnosno cilj je potrošiti manje energije za grijanje, hlađenje i rasvjetu. Treba napomenuti da energetsku učinkovitost ne smijemo shvaćati kao štednju energije jer štednja zahtijeva određena odricanja, dok učinkovita upotreba energije nikada ne umanjuje dobre uvijete života i rada. The graduate thesis describes facade systems and their advantages, disadvantages, and materials used in the construction of the facade. Emphasis is placed on the construction of the facade, the rules of construction, and thus on the technical regulations. The paper analyzes the materials used as well as their characteristics. Buildings must also be energy efficient, the goal is to consume less energy for heating, cooling and lighting. It should be noted that energy efficiency should not be presented as energy saving, because saving requires certain sacrifices, and while efficient use of energy never diminishes good living and working conditions.
