Does it make a difference whether the thermal insulation is done from the inside or outside?
In thermal insulation, external thermal insulation (sheathing) is more efficient. In this way, the outer shell of the building is insulated from external weather conditions like a mantle, and it also benefits from the heat storage capacity of the building envelope (walls and bearing elements). Therefore, since the heat distribution is equal at every point in the interior of the building, unwanted air currents are eliminated and thermal comfort conditions are achieved. In addition, once the building is heated, even if the heating system is turned off, the building elements continue to give their heat to the indoor environment and the indoor environments get colder later. In addition, with jacketing, the risk of condensation on the building bearing elements under the abrasive effect of external weather conditions is eliminated and the formation of thermal bridges is prevented. Internal insulation should be preferred in places that are not used continuously (conference hall, cinema, theater, etc.) when temporary rapid heating is required.
