Aerogel Efficiency in Complex Architectural Recovery: case study

In the heart of Val Camonica villages (Italy), such as Bienno, the main technical challenge involves renovating layered structures where operating space is limited by public roads. How can high-performance thermal insulation be applied in narrow streets without violating road boundaries? The answer lies in integrating advanced technologies that allow for an improvement of at least two energy classes while respecting existing volumetric constraints.

The "Villa Mons. Damiano Zani" RSA Project

The project involved a building on five levels with three different construction periods: an ancient core, a 1970s extension, and a recent part from 2017. The goal was to unify the aesthetics while ensuring:

• Seismic improvement with structural pilasters .

• Systems efficiency with hybrid thermal plants and solar photovoltaics .

• Roof insulation and replacement with high-performance fixtures .

The Critical Point: Thin Thermal Insulation with Aerogel

On the North-East facade, a narrow street prevented the use of traditional insulation. This issue was solved with Aeropan® VP-R, a vacuum insulation panel based on nanotechnology aerogel. This solution offers:

• High thermal performance in ultra-thin thicknesses .

• Aerogel core with nanopores to drastically reduce heat transmission .

• Double cement board coating for high mechanical resistance .

• Secure installation using the patented Aeropan® FIX system .
