These changes follow mainly from the EU energy concept and strategy in relation to housing and have an impact potential well beyond 2030. The aim of the paper is to show, based on field research and laboratory diagnostics on a selected reference sample of housing affected by biodegradation, to what extent the quality of ETICS fa\u00e7ades is affected by technological aspects during the application of ETICS exterior plasters and during the implementation of photocatalytic coatings. The investigation shows that the influence of the human factor is one of the main aspects of negative impacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su14063135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T01:50:53Z","timestamp":1646790653000},"page":"3135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Quality of ETICS in the Context of Energy and Social Changes (Case Study)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9664-6129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darja","family":"Kube\u010dkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Construction, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, L.
