| Summary: | Abstract Building energy consumption accounts for nearly one-third of the total energy consumption of the whole society, and this proportion is higher in China. We rehabilitate a large number of buildings every year, and the reuse of existing building materials can significantly reduce energy consumption and building pollution, as well as save time and money spent on rehabilitation. The insulation and decorative integrated board is widely used in cold regions of China, once damage occurs, the old one is often dismantled and replaced with a new one, which takes a long time to repair and also causes pollution and waste. The objectives of authenticity restoration method is to reduce building pollution, save construction time, and restore the original appearance of the building. It is divided into two main steps: the first is the reinforcement of the thermal insulation and decorative integrated board, and the second is the repair of the decorative layer. Compared with the traditional restoration method, it does not require the removal of the old one-piece board, which can shorten the restoration time by 50% and produce zero pollution. It adds construction materials to the building facade, which can improve the thermal insulation performance of the building. The external wall reinforcement technology and facade optimisation design are key to authenticity restoration, ensuring the building’s sturdiness while also reducing the amount of building materials. For buildings with large areas of damage to the insulation and decorative integrated boards, the authenticity restoration method has been proven to be effective through practice and time. |
