Monitoring of Wooden Cottage Insulation Systems

The construction of houses in rural areas from timber or on a wooden frame is relevant for the relatively low cost of construction and the possibility of forming effective insulating shells of structures. Steam and waterproofing roll materials are used as insulation materials, and plate products are used as thermal insulation materials: polymer or mineral-based. The use of rolled foamed polyethylene makes it possible to form an almost seamless insulating shell of buildings, including cottages made of timber or frame type. The implementation of the concept of seamless insulating shells involves the achievement of a thermal effect both due to the use of thermal insulation with low thermal, vapor, moisture conductivity, air permeability, and by minimizing the joints between the individual elements of the insulating shell, which is achieved by using elastic foamed polymers. These technologies are implemented in the preservation of snow and protection of frozen ground, as well as in residential and industrial construction. In this regard, it becomes very important to use modern methods of building diagnostics and quality control of work, and, in particular, thermal imaging in combination with an air door test. This method is widely used abroad, but in Russia it has received practical implementation recently and has not yet been confirmed by regulatory documents. At the object under study (frame-timbered wooden cottage), this method was implemented in parallel with domestic methods that have regulatory support.
