The use of VIP as part of the insulation system will result in a significant reduction in the required thickness of the insulation layer. In turn, the reduced overall thickness of the system will allow for easier direct anchoring of the elements of the green facade through the insulating layer to the base of the structure. The research carried out proves that, by using VIP in the insulation system (with a VIP thickness of 30 mm in combination with 20 mm of extruded polystyrene XPS), the thermal insulation properties can be significantly improved and, thus, the thickness of the insulation system can be reduced to 1\/3 of the thickness of conventional insulation (while achieving the same thermal resistance), thereby enabling the anchoring of green elements on the surface of such an insulation system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/buildings13020404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T02:57:24Z","timestamp":1675306644000},"page":"404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Use of Advanced Environmentally Friendly Systems in the Insulation and Reconstruction of Buildings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0426-8317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji\u0159\u00ed","family":"Zach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V\u00edt\u011bzslav","family":"Nov\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jitka","family":"Peterkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9829-8903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Buben\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5030-7404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mitja","family":"Ko\u0161ir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8592-1033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Bo\u017ei\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zden\u011bk","family":"Krejza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117112","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apenergy.2021.117112","article-title":"Model predictive control for integrated control of air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation, lighting and shading systems","volume":"297","author":"Yang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Appl.
