ABSTRACT

The traditional external wall insulation system was flawed by its own material characteristics and structural design. Foamed ceramics had also been known as “solid waste gold” in the industry. Then a new kind of foamed ceramics external wall panel was proposed in this paper. The new kind of foamed ceramics external wall panel integrated the architectural function, structural function and decorative function, which could ensure the wall panel had the same duration as the building. In this paper, the economic evaluation method of the foamed ceramics external wall panel was proposed based on full life-cycle theory in order to provide a series of investment advices for the real estate developers and consumers. Through the analysis, it showed that the new kind of foamed ceramics external wall panel could be widely used in energy-saving residential areas, which was a good solution to contradiction between resource tension and consumption growth.
