| Abstract [eng] |
The construction sector faces increasingly stringent requirements for energy efficiency and structural stability, making multilayer wall panels one of the primary materials used in industrial buildings. These panels are valued for their lightness, structural efficiency, and excellent thermal insulation properties. This master’s thesis conducts a performance analysis of different multilayer wall panels using the TOPSIS multi-criteria evaluation method. The study aims to determine the most rational panel alternative based on structural stability, energy efficiency, resistance to mechanical loads, and other important criteria. The master’s thesis consists of an introduction, three chapters, conclusions and recommendations, a list of references, and appendices. The introduction discusses the relevance of the work, the research objectives, tasks, and methodology. The structure and content of the work are described in detail, and the research is based on a review of scientific literature. The first chapter examines scientific literature on the properties and applications of multilayer wall panels. The chapter reviews the thermal insulation, mechanical load resistance, and fire protection parameters of these panels. Information about European standards EN 14509 and EN 13501-2, which regulate the performance properties and requirements of panels, is provided. The second chapter describes the research methodology, detailing the TOPSIS multi-criteria evaluation method. It outlines the criteria selection basis and principles for determining their weights. The study uses the design software "Autodesk Revit," and data analysis is conducted using the "Design Tools – Traypan" software, which allows precise evaluation of structural characteristics. The third chapter presents the research results and their analysis. It compares the structural and operational performance of different types of multilayer panels. Based on the results, it was found that panels with mineral wool cores exhibit higher fire resistance, while polyurethane panels are more efficient in terms of thermal insulation. The TOPSIS method enabled the identification of the most rational choice based on the established criteria. The findings of this work emphasize the importance of multilayer panels in ensuring energy efficiency and structural stability. The provided recommendations could be applied in the design and construction processes to optimize the construction and operation of industrial buildings. |
