As part of my thesis, I will focus on the energy efficiency retrofitting of existing buildings where external thermal insulation is not feasible due to technical constraints or heritage protection. As an alternative, we will develop interior plasters with the addition of selected materials, as conventional plasters cannot achieve the desired insulating properties within limited application thicknesses. The practical work will initially involve the preparation of various plaster mixtures. The second phase will involve the characterization of their mechanical, workability, and thermal properties. These improved plasters do not only contribute to more efficient thermal performance but also enhance the quality of the indoor living environment.
