Abstract The IIS(Internal Insulation System) is typically applied in most Korean apartment buildings. Consequently, there exist many thermal bridges at the wall-slab and wall-wall joints in the envelope. It is expected that the EIFS(External Insulation and Finish System) is the solution to this problem. The aim of this study is to suggest external insulation design details suitable for Korean apartment buildings in order to facilitate the application of EIFS. After making 43 alternatives for 9 parts, each alternative's relative insulation performance and constructability were then evaluated. As results, 9 design details for 9 parts were suggested.
