The Facecamp results seminar held on May 20, 2019, in Bolzano focused on the reduction of fire risk in insulated facades, presenting innovative approaches and guidelines for safe and cost-effective envelope insulation. Key topics included the performance of various façade types, fire behavior of insulation materials, and the importance of selecting appropriate substrates and insulation types. The project is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and aims to promote territorial branding and local products.
