Thermographie
Rapid Bloc
– No insulation loss was detected at the junction between the building’s facade and roof.
Modular Insulating Panels and Steel Structures
– An insulation loss was observed at the junction between the roof and the facade.
A comparative thermographic analysis showed that the Rapid Bloc system is 37% more energy-efficient than traditional modular insulating panel systems at roof-to-wall junctions. With an average temperature of 17.9 °C versus 11.3 °C, this superior performance is due to the absence of thermal bridges and the airtightness of Rapid Bloc walls.
Rapid Bloc
– No thermal loss or air infiltration was detected at the base of the walls, thanks to a row of Rapid Bloc units acting as a foundation wall. The continuous stacking of the Rapid Bloc elements enhances the airtightness at the wall-to-foundation junction.
Modular Insulated Panels and Steel Structures
– Air infiltration and insulation losses were observed beneath the junction between the modular insulating panels and the foundation, extending along the entire length of the joint. This results in floor cooling and negatively impacts the building’s energy performance.
The wall-to-foundation junction is often prone to air infiltration and energy loss. The Rapid Bloc system reduces thermal losses by 65% compared to walls made with modular insulated panels, with an average temperature of 16.5 °C versus 10.7 °C.
Rapid Bloc
– Air infiltration around the door frame is limited to the front of it. It is significantly reduced when the door is integrated into the Rapid Bloc system, compared to other construction methods.
Modular Insulated Panels and Steel Structures
– Significant air infiltration was observed around the door frames, possibly related to the door itself.
Rapid Bloc walls offer 22% better energy efficiency around door frames compared to modular insulated panels, with an average temperature of 10.7 °C versus 8.3 °C.
Conclusion : The thermographic analysis confirms that, in addition to its exceptional durability, the Rapid Bloc system stands out for its superior energy performance. Unlike traditional modular insulated panels, which show several weaknesses at critical junctions, the Rapid Bloc solution contributes to a more efficient, more comfortable building that better meets today’s energy efficiency standards.
