2. 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.

3. Dynamic insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_insulation

   Dynamic insulation is a form of insulation where cool outside air flowing through the thermal insulation in the envelope of a building will pick up heat from the insulation fibres. Buildings can be designed to exploit this to reduce the transmission heat loss ( U-value ) and to provide pre-warmed, draft free air to interior spaces.

4. Superinsulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superinsulation

   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. Heat and smoke vent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_and_smoke_vent

   Storage occupancies - The heat release rate from high piled storage commodities is expected to be very high. In such cases, it is considered by some fire protection professionals desirable to vent the heat from the building if the temperatures in the building reaches sufficiently high levels to endanger the structural stability of the roof system.

6. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

   Fino et al. [11] investigated the thermal insulation of walls covered with medium density expanded cork panes. To determine the impact of moisture on heat transfer through the cork wall, they conducted a comparative simulation of the insulation's behaviour in winter and summer conditions on the one side, and in dry and wet conditions on the other.
