Dot heat penetration coefficient in light buildings' envelopes

Jaroslav Solař

Wood-damaging insects heat extermination is possible to apply preferably in historical and herritage wooden stuctures, where destructive intervention is undesirable or in other structures, where an extensive occurance was found. This article discusses the principles of the described method and surveying the dammaged wooden structures. Surveying is necessary for finding the correct remediation principle, its procedure and execution.
