Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive study of external wall insulation (EWI) of 11 apartments in Yerevan with comparative analysis against a control group. The research was conducted in 2023-2024 using a mixed methodology that includes objective sensor measurements, infrared thermography, and structured surveys. The results show an average reduction in energy consumption of 33,4 % (±8,2 %, p<0,01), an increase in indoor temperature of 2,3°C (±0,5°C), and a 78 %  increase in resident satisfaction. The techno-economic analysis shows an average payback period of 5,7 years.
