In Slovakia, since August 2016, a change in the thermal standard STN 73 0540-2 [6] has been in force, taking into account the objective of the European Directive, which since 2021 counts on the construction of buildings with almost zero energy consumption. One of the objectives of these changes is to reduce energy consumption in buildings min. by 20% till 2020. In this article it is compared the selected structures of the support exterior walls with regard to the criterion of the required thermo-technical characteristics of the building structure - coefficient of heat transfer of the structure U for the ultra-energy building according to STN 73 0540 part 2 from 2016 [3, 6]. Finally, the most cost-effective structure that meets the required thermal and technical parameters was the masonry structure with an additional by insulating the ETICS (with meaning External Thermal Insulation Composite System).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
