2. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   Wood is a poor insulator and so it conducts heat from the radiant barrier to lower surfaces of said wood, where it, in turn, sheds heat by emitting IR radiation. According to the US Department of Energy, “Reflective insulation and radiant barrier products must have an air space adjacent to the reflective material to be effective.” [9]

3. Ecovative Design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecovative_Design

   In spring 2012, Ecovative Design opened a new production facility and announced a partnership with Sealed Air to expand production of the packaging materials. [8] [9] In 2014 their material was used in a brick form in 'Hy-Fi', a 40-foot (12 m) tower displayed in New York by the Museum of Modern Art and they started selling "grow-it-yourself ...

4. Mycelium-based materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycelium-based_materials

   The first step in the manufacturing of usable mycelium based materials is growing the raw materials. Mycelium needs a wet environment with sufficient substrate to be grown, and as touched on earlier the difficulty to break down the sugars from the substrate will lead to a tougher material driven mostly by the chitin concentration.

5. Growbag - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growbag

   A growbag is a planter filled with a growing medium and used for growing plants, usually tomatoes or other salad crops. Originally made of plastic, modern bags are also made from jute or fabric. The growing medium is usually based on a soilless organic material such as peat , coir , composted green waste , composted bark or composted wood chips ...

   An improvised tent using polytarp as a fly Abandoned homeless shelter using plastic tarp. A tarpaulin (/ t ɑːr ˈ p ɔː l ɪ n / tar-PAW-lin, [1] also US: / ˈ t ɑːr p ə l ɪ n / [2]) or tarp is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water-resistant or waterproof material, often cloth such as canvas or polyester coated with polyurethane, or made of plastics such as polyethylene.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Reflective aluminum foil is the most common material used as a radiant barrier. It has no significant mass to absorb and retain heat. It also has very low emittance values "E-values" (typically 0.03 compared to 0.90 for most bulk insulation) which significantly reduces heat transfer by radiation.
