2. 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.

3. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   By installing insulation, buildings use less energy for heating and cooling and occupants experience less thermal variability. Retrofitting buildings with further insulation is an important climate change mitigation tactic, [1][2] especially when buildings are heated by oil, natural gas, or coal-based electricity.

4. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   A radiant barrier is a type of building material that reflects thermal radiation and reduces heat transfer. Because thermal energy is also transferred by conduction and convection, in addition to radiation, radiant barriers are often supplemented with thermal insulation that slows down heat transfer by conduction or convection.

7. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

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

   R. -value (insulation) 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] R-value is the temperature difference per unit of heat flux needed to sustain one unit of ...
