  2. Interior radiation control coating - Wikipedia

    He immediately grasped that they might be used as a replacement for foil radiant barriers, and proceeded to perform experiments verifying their viability for this use. In 1986 these coatings were applied for the first commercial application in homes built by Centex Corporation.

  3. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

    The radiant barrier should be installed in a manner to minimize dust accumulation on the reflective surface. Radiant barriers are more effective in hot climates than in cooler/cold climates (especially when cooling air ducts are located in the attic). When the sun heats a roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot ...

  4. Building insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

    Radiant barriers are highly effective for attic spaces in hot climates. [54] In this application, they are much more effective in hot climates than cold climates. For downward heat flow, convection is weak and radiation dominates heat transfer across an air space. Radiant barriers must face an adequate air-gap to be effective.

  5. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Radiant barriers will reflect radiant energy. A radiant barrier by itself will not affect heat conducted through the material by direct contact or heat transferred by moist air rising or convection. For this reason, trying to associate R-values with radiant barriers is difficult and inappropriate. The R-value test measures heat transfer through ...

  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 (in K⋅m 2 /W) 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. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

    Thermal insulation provides a region of insulation in which thermal conduction is reduced, creating a thermal break or thermal barrier, [1] or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the lower-temperature body.
