The aim is to <strong>harmonise calculations across Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">However, applying this 50-year period to specific construction products, such as thermal insulation, raises several <strong>technical and methodological questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rsl-et-esl-concepts-clairs-et-application-complexe\">RSL and ESL: straightforward concepts, challenging application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-neve-link-hover-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The <strong>Reference Service Life (RSL)<\/strong> corresponds to the expected lifespan of a product, component or system <strong>under defined service conditions<\/strong>. It serves as a <strong>baseline reference<\/strong> and is not intended to predict actual performance in all situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The <strong>Estimated Service Life (ESL)<\/strong>, on the other hand, aims to reflect <strong>actual service conditions<\/strong> and can be calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default has-custom-1-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-nv-c-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cdf570976c32cc531c3f7621888feaa8 wp-block-paragraph\">ESL=RSL\u00d7A\u00d7B\u00d7C\u00d7\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Factors A, B, C\u2026 include <strong>design quality, material quality, workmanship, exposure, maintenance, and use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Although the concept is well established, notably through the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/45798.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISO 15686<\/a><\/strong> series, its application remains complex. For example, insulation installed in Munich will not be exposed to the same conditions as in Brussels. Yet, <strong>the impact of this difference on ESL calculation is not always clear<\/strong>, and its application varies across assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-50-ans-pour-l-isolation-thermique-realite-technique-ou-convention\">50 years for thermal insulation: technical reality or convention?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-neve-link-hover-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Compared to other building elements such as <strong>interior finishes, roofing, or windows<\/strong>, which often have shorter RSLs, thermal insulation is <strong>typically associated with a <strong>reference service life<\/strong> of 50 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-1-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">But does this value correspond to <strong>proven durability under all conditions<\/strong>, or a <strong>conventional reference<\/strong>, aligned with the EPBD study period?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In practice, insulation is rarely replaced. It is <strong>often retained and supplemented with new layers<\/strong> during renovations. This demonstrates a <strong>long service life under favourable conditions<\/strong>, but raises the question: should we always <strong>assume no replacement over 50 years<\/strong>, or does this
