Hello,
the question of whether to insulate or not is increasingly being discussed, and of course, there are many related issues.
I am interested in the current knowledge of those who are more experienced with the topic than I am...
The property we purchased was built in 1965 and unfortunately has only 30cm (12 inches) exterior walls.
During the gut renovation, we didn’t notice any significant issues except at 1-2 spots in the basement.
Now, the basement and attic are going to be insulated, and new windows (probably double-glazed) will be installed.
Would you generally recommend an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS / EIFS) for walls of this thickness?
Thanks for your effort!

For me, a cost/benefit factor (payback period) makes sense, as external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) are now viewed much more critically than a few years ago. I wanted to check the current status in relation to the respective masonry.
It is somewhat "shocking" when reading older posts on this topic, back when the thicker the ETICS, the better!
KfW55 standard is not of interest to me, and the energy saving regulations (EnEV) depend on the extension size.

The current standard will certainly matter for the extension itself, and at least where the same rooms are involved in both old and new parts, I would consider a significant difference in U-values problematic.
