6. THE NEW REALITY • CO2 emissions increase due to increased energy consumption. • Result is climate change. • Result is even higher energy consumption. • Closed loop effect. • On top of that oil prices increased by 80%.

7. THE ONLY RELIABLE SOLUTION IS PROPER THERMAL INSULATION • Increased energy consumption in industry due to growth is inevitable. • Decrease energy consumption in housing by efficient thermal insulation.

33. XPS – Extruded Polystyrene • Implementation of up to date technology. • Excellent thermal insulation. • Low retention of water and humidity. • High mechanic resistance. • High compression resistance. • Dimensional stability. • Homogeneous density to mass. • Resistance to the action of acids and bases. • Insensitive to temperature variations. • Compatibility to materials used in constructions (cement, gypsum). • Easy to transport, cut and applied. • Self extinguishing properties. • Clean, odorless, non irritating to skin. PROPERTIES STABLE THROUGH TIME

34. SELECTION OF INSULATION SYSTEM AND MATERIAL • Study and analysis of the total problem. • Selection of the best solution. • Assurance of properties for long time. • Incorporation of all cost affecting parameters.

35. THE INSULATION OF FLAT ROOFS –INVERSED ROOF • Insulation of flat roof with the traditional method the insulation is under the waterproofing (EPS-STONEWOOL) • Insulation of flat roofs with the inversed roof principal the insulation is above the waterproofing material (XPS)
