The concept of a ventilated façade refers to a constructive solution that allows the exterior of a building to be cladded. It involves adapting the building to sustainable building, which provides a series of improvements such as: greater energy savings and a reduction in maintenance costs. The purpose is to make buildings refurbished with ventilated façade comply with the new demands of the CTE and, with this, ensure that the owners have greater comfort and savings in the home. A thermal building envelope – more commonly known as a ventilated façade – is an outer skin around a building that totally eliminates the thermal bridges responsible for 30% of energy losses from buildings. It creates a safe, efficient, sustainable barrier between the outside environment and inner atmosphere of the building. A ventilated façade is an unbeatable solution since it decarbonises buildings, minimizing their energy requirements and hence their energy consumption. FAVEKER® also uses fully recyclable materials with a high recycled content, leading to the creation of building envelopes that combine efficiency with sustainability. Thanks to this kind of façade system, buildings go one step further than merely complying with requirements in the fields of energy, safety and sustainability by improving on these stipulated limits, with the achievement of NZEB (nearly zero energy buildings) or even PEB (positive energy buildings). The ventilated façade guarantees an improvement of the thermal insulation of the building, since it allows to install continuous insulators between the external support of the supporting wall and the exterior cladding of the façade. The cladding of the ventilated façade protects the supporting structure, the thermal insulation and the substructure of the climatic influences, because it is resistant to rain.

How does it work?
In summer, the sun shines directly on the cladding and not on the building, heats the air in the chamber, decreases its density and convection rises, with fresh air taking its place. This is the phenomenon called “the chimney”, which prevents the accumulation of calories in the façade. The thermal insulation provides additional protection against atmospheric agents.
In winter other factors come into play, since solar radiation is not enough to achieve these air movements. In this case the façade acts as a heat accumulator, helping the air chamber to the thermal stability of the system. The thermal insulator provides a maximum thermal accumulation of the interior components that prevents the loss of heat inside the building.
The external bearing walls and insulation always remain dry and, therefore, fully preserve their function. The impact rain that could have been filtered through open joints will dry quickly due to the circulation of air in the ventilation space.
Ventilated façades allow the correction of the thermal bridges producing an energetic saving when eliminating the contact between brackets and walls. The advantages of
