ᐅ Which material is best for the structural shell regarding thermal and sound insulation?

Hello everyone,
We are currently considering which material to use for the shell construction. Our goal is to achieve at least KFW 55 energy efficiency, and due to noise levels from the nearby railway, we also need passive sound insulation. External thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) are not an option for us. Therefore, I see two possible solutions:
- Filled Poroton brick without additional external or internal insulation
- Cavity wall construction with calcium silicate blocks and core insulation
I currently prefer the first option, as I assume it is still more cost-effective than the two-layer masonry and results in a less thick wall. However, I am not sure if the filled Poroton brick will meet our sound insulation needs.
Could anyone share their experiences regarding the thermal and sound insulation properties of the above options?

Again, the wall is relatively unimportant. Focus your planning efforts more on the windows and connection joints.Vicky Pedia schrieb:
