3. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Faster construction than stick-built house. Less lumber required. Insulate acoustically. Impermeable to moisture. Can truck prefabricated panels to construction site and assemble on site. Create shell of solid insulation around house, while reducing bypasses common with stick-frame construction. The result is an inherently energy-efficient house.

4. Superinsulation - Wikipedia

   Another approach is to use the 1/3 to 2/3 method mentioned above—to install a vapor retarder on the inside of the existing wall (if there is not one already) and add insulation and support structure to the interior. This way, utilities (power, telephone, cable, and plumbing) can be added to the new wall space without penetrating the air barrier.

5. Passive house - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

   Passive house buildings employ superinsulation to significantly reduce the heat transfer through the walls, roof and floor compared to conventional buildings. [60] A wide range of thermal insulation materials can be used to provide the required high R-values (low U-values, typically in the 0.10 to 0.15 W/(m 2 ·K) range).

7. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   It is virtually airtight if installed without gaps between adjacent panels, taping the seams. It reduces heat conduction through the wall frame when used as sheathing. Rigid panels with a radiant heat barrier facing foil will significantly improve the insulating properties by reflecting infrared solar energy before penetrating the wall or ceiling.
