2. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   The use of highly compressed straw bales as insulation, though uncommon, is gaining popularity in experimental building projects for the high R-value and low cost of a thick wall made of straw. "Research by Joe McCabe at the Univ. of Arizona found R-value for both wheat and rice bales was about R-2.4 (RSI-0.42) per inch with the grain, and R-3 ...

5. External wall insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_wall_insulation

   Types of External cromatic wall insulation systems (EWI Systems pictured above) External wall insulation systems generally comprise firstly an insulation layer (an element which helps to achieve the requisite thermal performance); and secondly,a protected weatherproof finish (usually a render, although brick slips, [3] tiles, and decorative boards can also be used).

6. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

   Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3]

7. Cellulose insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_insulation

   Demand for insulation increased following the oil embargo of 1973–74, which caused energy costs for heating to skyrocket across the United States, driving interest in energy conservation. Insulation gained significant national attention in the U.S. as a cheap and available technology to increase the energy efficiency of homes. In 1977 ...
