This book offers a unique treatment of building insulating products
and the integration of these products with building components.
This book was written for all those involved in building design,
specification, construction, and commissioning, providing them with
an understanding of and appreciation for the wide variety of
thermal insulation products and technologies available for use in
all types of buildings. The book proceeds from basic definitions
and discussion of heat-transfer topics and thermal insulation
concepts, to the design and use of these products. The impact of
thermal insulation on dynamic building performance, including
factors other than heating and cooling, is also discussed. The book
does not require an advanced mathematical background. The authors
provide sufficient information to provide a qualitative
understanding, with more mathematical sections included for those
interested in modeling and analysis. The basic physics associated
with heat transfer in buildings are presented, along with the
steady-state and transient analysis techniques needed for the
effective implementation of thermal insulation and assemblies.
Modern building design involves the integration of comfort, safety,
economics, durability and cost considerations, all of which impact
the selection and use of thermal insulation materials in buildings.
In addition to theoretical explanations of the underlying science,
the book details the properties and application of new thermal
insulation materials, including vacuum panels, gas-filled panels,
aerogels, phase-change materials, and radiation control
technologies. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to
researchers and building engineers wishing to understand the latest
technologies and materials available, so as to achieve reduced
energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings.
