Abstract
An element for thermal insulation of a building, which is provided for attachment to an exterior wall of the building on the outside. The element includes at least one duct which is surrounded by portions of the element on all sides except for in edge areas of the element. In one or more individual areas of the element the at least one duct extends towards an edge of the element such that, when the element is attached to the exterior wall, at least one connection of the at least one duct to the exterior wall is formed at at least one desired location, through which air can be guided into the building or out of the building.
Claims23
A panel for thermal insulation of a building, which is provided for attachment to an exterior wall of a building on an outside, wherein the panel comprises:
- at least one duct which is surrounded by portions of the panel on all sides except for in edge areas of the panel,
- wherein in one or more individual areas of the panel the at least one duct extends towards an edge of the panel such that, when the panel is attached to the exterior wall, at least one connection of the at least one duct to the exterior wall is formed at at least one desired location, through which air can be guided into the building or out of the building,
- wherein the at least one duct of the panel is structured and arranged to connect with at least one duct of an adjacent panel to form a duct system, and
- wherein the at least one duct is at least one ventilation duct.
A panel for the thermal insulation of a building, comprising:
- a layer of insulating material having at least one duct connection edge area;
- at least one duct formed within the layer of insulating material and extending to the at least one duct connection edge area;
- and
- at least one extension duct that extends from the at least one duct towards a surface positionable adjacent to a wall, the at least one extension duct being positionable to form an air flow path from a passage in the wall to the at least one duct,
- wherein the at least one duct of the panel is structured and arranged to connect with at least one duct of an adjacent panel to form a duct system, and
- wherein the at least one duct is at least one ventilation duct.
