Hi everyone! I'm Carla and I'm currently writing my final thesis. The aim of my thesis is to find a solution for how the energy losses of old houses can be decreased by improving the thermal insulation performance of exterior walls. The final goal of my thesis is to develop a prototype that consists mainly of textiles and that shall be attached to the outside surface of an external wall. If you are owning a house or renting a house that was built before 1970, please fill out my survey! The questions are dedicated to these types of houses that were already energetically modernized or not yet.
