The Complete Guide to Thermal Insulation Materials for Modern Construction
With the pace of urbanization increasing and the increase in global warming, modern architectural design now has the double task of ensuring indoor thermal comfort while decreasing the amount of energy consumed by a large margin. Thermal insulation is not only a luxury anymore; it is a necessity in the design of residential buildings, pre-engineered buildings (PEBs), warehouses, and industrial units.
Thermal insulation is made of special materials that slow down or stop heat from moving around. This is really helpful because it keeps our homes at a comfortable temperature all year long—keeping the hot air out in the summer and keeping the warm air in during the winter.
Conduction - This involves the transmission of heat through solid substances (such as heat traveling through concrete roofs and metal sheets).
