ᐅ Mistakes Drilling into Sand-Lime Brick up to Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)

kevchockHello,
first of all: I am a construction layman. Here is my situation:
- The picture shows the bathroom in the attic
- The wall is made of calcium silicate bricks
- In the center of the picture there is a mistaken drill hole that reaches all the way to the exterior-applied rigid foam insulation system (ETICS / external thermal insulation composite system), but does not damage it (visible through the hole)
- In front of this is the vanity stud wall made of drywall panels
- The drywall stud wall will be filled with insulation wool
Now the question:
Does this drill hole, if left unfilled, create a thermal bridge or is it unproblematic since the external insulation system is still intact?
- Would the airtightness then be compromised?
Thanks to everyone! 😉

Yes, the issue is this: there will be a drywall partition (stud wall for the washbasin), and then I won’t be able to see whether the hole has been properly filled. At the moment, I’m a bit skeptical about the attention to detail because I already had to have a major defect repaired.
Thanks so far for the responses.
