This contribution reports about methodology, progress and preliminary findings of a
recent exploratory Research and Development project, pertaining to the (semi-)automated
thermal retrofit of existing building´s envelopes. Thereby, the potential of robots, which
autonomously identify areas of facades that can be used for inserting openings into the existing
wall material, is examined. The idea is based on the fact that masonry walls of historic masonry
walls (especially of Gründerzeit buildings built between 1850 and 1918) often have been
structurally over-dimensioned. As such, the spare thickness of the walls could be used for
thermal insulation purposes. The initial idea to implement air cavities for insulation purposes is
in correspondence with the predominant functional principle of most insulation materials.
