ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the use of vacuum panels as medial insulation core in veneer masonry walls. The anchoring concept in veneer masonry walls is based on fixing one anchor side to the interior masonry leaf in mortar joints while construction by embedding or drilling, fixing insulation panels, and then building the exterior masonry leaf embedding the free anchor sides in mortar joints. At certain places where the load of the external wall leaf cannot be vertically transferred through bottom wall parts, load bearing anchors or consoles are designed to provide safe load transfer into the concrete slabs, lintels or other load bearing items. Every panel is provided at one corner with designed hole at the level of the Polyurethane frame where the anchor can fit through. The rubber rings of every anchor will provide airtightness at the level of the penetration hole.
