Thermal Insulation for an Open - Air Museum A918012
The Austrian Open-Air Museum of Stübing near Graz is among the ten largest open-air museums in Europe and the only one in the world dedicated to farm architecture from all over Austria over a period of six centuries. As a scientific centre of competence and a museum, the institution is engaged in the tasks of collection, conservation, knowledge dissemination and documentation. By insulating the façade of the museum building and renovating the existing box-type windows, the energy index of the building can be lowered to 44 kWH/m²a. After completion of the renovation, the annual fuel oil requirement will be reduced by about 25%. Thus, based on the lifetime of the measure, a total of about 420 tonnes of CO2 emissions can be avoided.
