Hello everyone,
Below ground level, there are special collars for cables or pipes passing through exterior walls. But how does it work when you want to lead cables outside above ground level? For example, for exterior lighting or an outdoor socket for a terrace/balcony.
We are planning to install 18cm (7 inches) EIFS (mineral wool) insulation. Therefore, I am considering how electrical cables should be routed to the outside.

Is your energy consultant a civil engineer? He is a civil engineer and works mainly on new construction projects full-time, so I thought I’d ask.

Behind the plaster there is an 18cm (7 inch) external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) made of mineral wool (and an additional plaster carrier in front of that?) We are using Knauf MW Wool 035 plus L with adhesive coating applied on both sides. Kaiser offers the "Fleece-Butyl sealing collar," but I’m not sure if that is suitable for mineral wool.

And almost every wall basically has a vapor retarder of some kind, right? Or am I mistaken? I’ll have to ask.
