   See Ventilation issues in houses; Installing roofing, building wrap, siding, flashing, skylights or solar tubes and making sure they are in good condition on an existing building. Installing insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings, around ducts and pipes, around water heaters, and near the foundation and sill. Installing storm doors and storm ...

3. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   When the sun heats a roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot. Much of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor.

4. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   Insulation to resist conductive heat transfer uses air spaces between fibers, inside foam or plastic bubbles and in building cavities like the attic. This is beneficial in an actively cooled or heated building, but can be a liability in a passively cooled building; adequate provisions for cooling by ventilation or radiation [ 62 ] are needed.

5. Heat and smoke vent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_and_smoke_vent

   The majority of guidance available for design of heat and smoke building vents installed in buildings is restricted to nonsprinklered, single-story buildings. [4] This is partly a historical consequence of the installation of heat and smoke vents following the August 1953 General Motors, Livonia, MI major fire in a nonsprinklered manufacturing facility which effectively stopped the production ...

   What is spray foam insulation? Spray foam insulation has been used to stop heat escaping from roofs, lofts and attics for decades and comes in two forms. Closed cell spray foam is rigid once set ...

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Insulation is a barrier material to resist/reduce substance (water, vapor, etc. ) /energy (sound, heat, electric, etc.) to transfer from one side to another. Heat/ Thermal Insulation is a barrier material to resist / block / reflect the heat energy (either one or more of the Conduction, Convection or Radiation) to transfer from one side to another.
