Fundamentals and Installation

Fundamentals | Legislation and Technology.

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in new builds and renovations. Since 2016, stricter requirements have been in force for insulation, heat protection and air tightness (EnEV, DIN 4108-7). The EU Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings has been implemented in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The energy performance certificate assesses energy losses, is mandatory when selling or letting a property, and provides transparent information on consumption and efficiency, offering greater certainty and convenience when making property decisions.

Air-tight and thermal bridge-free electrical installations.

A heat-insulating, air-tight building shell in accordance with DIN 4108 protects the building structure from damp and mildew, as warm air does not condense on cool surfaces. In cavity or lightweight walls, moisture retardant foils or OSB panels act as the air-tight layer; in solid construction, this role is fulfilled by the interior plaster. Electrical installations must not damage these; electric cable and conduit entries must comply with DIN 60670-1. KAISER offers air-tight, thermal bridge-free solutions for cavity walls, Flush-mounting and internal insulation in accordance with DIN 18015-5.

Installation without heat bridges. Secure fixing of equipment in or to external wall insulation.

The quality of external wall insulation depends on the continuity of the insulation and the prevention of heat bridges. Extensions such as balconies or external installations such as sockets, luminaires, motion detectors or letterboxes pose risks of heat loss and building damage. KAISER offers secure, thermal bridge-free fixings for electrical appliances and components in ETICS, even as a retrofit. Thermography reveals weak spots. The thicker the insulation, the more serious the heat bridges.

Verification. Air tightness and absence of thermal bridges.

With rising energy prices, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important for new builds and renovations. Since 2020, the Building Energy Act (GEG) has tightened the requirements for primary energy demand and, from 2024, will mandate the use of renewable energy in new heating systems. Thermal insulation and air tightness are key requirements. The energy performance certificate assesses energy losses and is mandatory when selling, letting or leasing a property. EU directives have been implemented in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

It provides a secure installation housing for LED luminaires with a power rating of up to 8 watts, as well as the ballast device. The installation housing is suitable for all common insulation materials, such as: wood fibre insulation, foam glass, mineral foam or expanded polystyrene (EPS).
    It enables the safe and thermal-bridge-free installation of fixed and swivelling LED built-in luminaires in insulated ceilings. The housing protects the surrounding insulation material from the high operating temperatures of the LED luminaire and also protects the LED luminaire itself from dirt.
    The integrated insulation element reliably prevents heat bridges. Insulation thicknesses ranging from 100 mm to 160 mm can be adjusted in 10 mm increments simply by trimming the housing. The installation depth for the LED luminaire or any other installation accessory ranges from 70 mm to 130 mm, depending on the set insulation thickness. For insulation thicknesses of 170 mm to 350 mm, the extension element is simply mounted behind the installation housing. The extension element is also adjustable in 10 mm increments.
    The front plate is available with a fixed installation diameter of 68 mm for hammering in, or with a universal mounting surface up to Ø 86 mm for a cutout.
