Σύνοψη

This is a study of the wall and roof finishing and insulation for buildings in Cyprus.
Both the traditional and contemporary buildings are examined in terms of the building
contribution to energy savings.
Chapter-I deals with the Cypriot traditional house and the thermal properties of the
envelope composite materials for the achievement of thermal comfort conditions.
Chapter-II deals with the contemporary buildings. The construction of walls and roof
and their composite materials are the main subjects, which are analyzed in this
chapter.
In Chapter-III, there is a general approach of the thermal comfort, the modes of
heat transfer and heat losses and gains through the building fabric. What is analyzed
furthermore is the achievement of thermal comfort conditions with the use of
insulating materials to both walls and roofs.
The last chapter, Chapter-IV, is the experimental part of this project. Three different
finishes were used to render polystyrene slabs fixed on different oriented walls. The
aim was to compare the three finishes and the effect of their orientation.
