6. THE NEW REALITY CO2 emissions increase due to increased energy consumption. CO2 emissions increase due to increased energy consumption. Result is climate change. Result is climate change. Result is even higher energy consumption. Result is even higher energy consumption. Closed loop effect. Closed loop effect. On top of that oil prices increased by 80%. On top of that oil prices increased by 80%.

7. THE ONLY RELIABLE SOLUTION IS PROPER THERMAL INSULATION Increased energy consumption in industry due to growth is inevitable. Decrease energy consumption in housing by efficient thermal insulation.

33. XPS – Extruded Polystyrene Implementation of up to date technology. Excellent thermal insulation. Low retention of water and humidity. High mechanic resistance. High compression resistance. Dimensional stability. Homogeneous density to mass. Resistance to the action of acids and bases. Insensitive to temperature variations. Compatibility to materials used in constructions (cement, gypsum). Easy to transport, cut and applied. Self extinguishing properties. Clean, odorless, non irritating to skin. PROPERTIES STABLE THROUGH TIME

34. SELECTION OF INSULATION SYSTEM AND MATERIAL Study and analysis of the total problem. Selection of the best solution. Assurance of properties for long time. Incorporation of all cost affecting parameters.
