The present invention pertains to a rear-ventilated building facade with a load-bearing external wall, with an insulation layer formed from insulation panels and with a facade cladding, wherein the facade cladding is installed by means of a load-bearing structure, forming a rear ventilation gap, at a spaced location from the insulation layer, and wherein the rear ventilation gap is interrupted in the vertical direction by at least one fire barrier, which is configured as a mineral wool panel. It is characterized in that the at least one fire barrier extends over the entire width of the rear ventilation gap, and that the at least one fire barrier has at least one opening extending in the vertical direction in the area of the rear ventilation gap. The present invention further provides a process for manufacturing a rear-ventilated building facade. It is thus possible to perfect a rear-ventilated building facade of this class such that a lastingly reliable fire protection can be achieved with a cost-effective configuration.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing vacuum insulation panels with a fiber core, comprising the steps of: providing a core blank of fibers, compressing the core blank to a predetermined final thickness for forming the core, evacuating a foil sleeve enclosing the core up to a pressure of &#x2266;1 mbar, and sealing the foil sleeve. The method according to the invention is characterized by the fact that, in the compression step, the core blank is arranged between two cover elements and is mechanically compressed therebetween, that the core is kept under compression pressure until the foil sleeve is sealed, and that the compression step is performed at the place of manufacture at room temperature without thermal impact. Thus, a method for manufacturing vacuum insulation panels with a fiber core can be improved such that it can be performed with reduced energy requirement and yet the insulating effect of the vacuum insulation panels does not suffer therefrom.
