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.
