%X With the installation of 1800 m2 of Vacuum Insulation Panels in the entire opaque facade of an existing building, it has been demonstrated that the use of Vacuum Insulation Panels is possible in energy efficient building retrofitting, even in complex facades with low modularity. It has also shown the possibility of using Vacuum Insulation Panels in larger construction works. After the works, the state of the facade has been monitored. Damaged panels have been quantified during the construction phase and one year after the completion of the works. This work presents the lessons learnt during the design and installation process of the vacuum insulation panel integrating solutions, including the key improvements that are necessary to be implemented in the VIPs production process to guarantee their technical and economical viability for their use in edification.
