8th INTERNATIONAL ETICS CONFERENCE

ETICS in the third decade of the 21st century

Nowadays, External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) with renderings is the most used technical solution aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of buildings in the EU. Over sixty years of using ETICS has clearly shown that it is a good solution in various climatic conditions, and the factors that may affect the deterioration of the thermal insulation properties of the insulation are well known. Manufacturers are constantly developing ETICS to meet customers’ growing expectations and changing technical and legal requirements. Interestingly, despite over sixty years of widespread use of ETICS in EU countries, no European standard has been created so far that could be the basis for assessing and verifying constancy of performance (AVCP).

After two years of a pandemic, growing concern about the environment, energy crisis, changing legal requirements, changing investors’ and customers’ expectations, and facing the terrible war waged beyond our eastern border, we all face the need to redefine the current models of functioning.
