Abstract
The use of super insulating materials in the construction industry, including vacuum insulation, closely corresponds to the ever-increasing requirements for the construction of low-energy and passive buildings. Their indisputable advantage is their excellent thermal insulation properties at low thickness compared to conventional thermal insulation materials. However, there are also many risks associated with the experience and practice of the personnel involved in the application of these materials to structures. The paper focuses on the overall comparison of the possible use of vacuum insulation panels in modern building structures in terms of possible design solutions and achieved properties. The paper presents the results of selected case studies of the optimal use of vacuum insulation panels (VIP) in the construction industry, which are focused on different areas of building structures, specifically on the detail of the transition of the terrace and the adjacent floor, as well as on the solution of the filling of openings - doors. Based on the results of the studies carried out, it can be concluded that, provided that all procedures for maintaining the VIP properties are followed in the implementation of these materials in structures, vacuum insulations represent a more suitable solution for structural details in selected details (less thickness and comparable thermal insulation properties compared to conventional insulations).
