INSULATION
INADEQUATE INSULATION OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE (EXTERNAL WALLS/ROOFS/FLOORS)
Inadequate insulation in the external wall and roofs can lead to significant cooling energy losses. Insulation helps to reduce heat transfer through the envelope, keeping the building cooler and reducing the need for cooling energy.

AIR INFILTRATION / AIR LEAK of the EXTERNAL BUILIDNG ENVELOPE
Uncontrolled air infiltration through cracks, gaps, and other openings in the building envelope can lead to significant cooling energy losses. In hot and arid climates, hot outdoor air can infiltrate into the building, increasing cooling demand and energy consumption. The prevention of Air leaks from poor sealing of openings in the building envelope is often ignored in relation to the energy efficiency of a buildings.

Air leakage is shown in arrows the gaps and cracks in the roof and exterior wall of the house

CONDUCTION THROUGH BUILDING MATERIALS
Heat can be conducted through building materials such as walls, roofs, and floors, leading to cooling energy losses. In the Middle East, where building materials such as concrete and stone are commonly used, their high thermal conductivity can exacerbate cooling energy losses.
Figure 4 - Conduction
The sun radiates heat to the roof and walls of the house. Heat conducts through the roof heating up the attic space. Walls and ceilings conduct heat and radiate it throughout the building. Convection makes the warm air rise and the cool air sink. Heat will travel to cooler areas.

SOLAR RADIATION
In hot and sunny climates, solar radiation can heat up the building envelope, increasing cooling demand and energy consumption.
Conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer take place almost everywhere we look. In a building envelope, conduction primarily takes place through opaque envelope assemblies, convection is usually the result of wind or pressure-driven air movement, and radiant heat transfer is primarily from the sun through fenestrations (openings in a building's façade).

HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH THERMAL BRIDGING
Occurs when a material with high thermal conductivity, such as steel or concrete, connects the interior and exterior of the building envelope. These materials can act as pathways for heat transfer, allowing heat to move through the envelope and can dramatically the expected overall thermal performance.
Figure 8 – Linear Thermal Bridge
Refers to localized weaknesses or discontinuities in the thermal envelope of a building. These occur when the insulation layer is interrupted by a more conductive material.
(Note: EIFS consistently prevents Thermal Bridging which occurs in most other forms of cladding)
Figure 9 – Point Thermal Bridge
These are thermal bridges that occur at small points / spots, such as Aluminum Cladding support rails and incorrectly specified thermal insulation fasteners. Note: Certified EIFS Systems is continuous without gaps and uses adhesive and minimal fasteners which are designed to avoid thermal transmission.

WHAT IS COP 4:1
4:1 is 1 kw electricity = 4 kw cooling output
An AC Unit certified with a COP of 4:1, or 4, indicates that for every 1 kw of electrical input power into the AC unit, it will provide 4 kw’s of cooling output power.

An explanation of Energy Use Intensity (E.U.I.)
Energy Use Intensity (EUI means energy use of a building expressed as energy used per square foot/square metre of a building per year. It is calculated by dividing the total gross energy in kwh consumed in a 1-year period by the total Gross Floor Area m2 of a building (kwh/m2/year).

Thermal Transmission or “U-value” is a measure of how well a building envelope (roof, walls, and windows) resists heat transfer. A lower U-value indicates better thermal insulation properties and therefore reduced cooling energy reduction. By mandating minimum low U-values for the building's envelope in New buildings. Combined with E.E.M’s a buildings cooling energy demand via air conditioning is dramatically reduced.

Benefits of Certified EIFS Systems in the Middle East
z
Unlike other insulation and cladding systems, a continuous layer of thermal insulation wraps FULLY around the entire external wall of the building without gaps/thermal bridging. This is extremely difficult to effectively achieve in all other forms of External Wall Insulation/cladding. This layer of certified insulation is specified to meet the external wall U-Value requirements and for the building type and height, & national fire safety code. The thermal insulation (typically EPS and Mineral Wool) is designed and tested as part of a certified EIFS System. As a result of the prevention of thermal bridging (gaps in insulation) EIFS is world renowned as the most effective method of external wall insulation and as a result EIFS will always meet and surpass the required thermal performance and resultant cooling energy use reductions.
The Specification and Installation of a Certified EIFS Systems GUARANTEES the Thermal Performance of an External Wall

REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION by preventing heat transfer on building envelope and prevention of thermal bridging. (The prevention of Thermal Bridging is extremely difficult to prevent in other insulation methods)
Certified EIFS Systems can significantly reduce the cooling energy demand of buildings in the Middle East region. By preventing cooling energy loss through the building envelope, EIFS will reduce the need for excessive air conditioner cooling energy demand leading to lower energy consumption and Energy cost savings typically between 20% to 35%. (dependent on building floor area m2 vs external wall m2).
A case study identified 30% potential energy savings in Dubai villas through appropriate external wall insulation strategies, including control of thermal bridging (images are for illustrative purposes only)
