For a (by 1980s standards) well-insulated building heat losses can be reduced by about 1.6%. [note 2] A more effective DIY radiator reflector is a thin insulating layer (against conduction) of a lightweight insulator such as expanded polystyrene foam veneer [note 3] or 3mm polyethylene foam, as used for laminate flooring underlay.
Reflective foil, bubble foil insulations, and radiant barriers are noted for their ability to reflect unwanted solar radiation in hot climates, when applied properly. Reflective foils are fabricated from aluminum foils with a variety of backings such as roofing paper, craft paper, plastic film, polyethylene bubbles, or cardboard.
Heat flow is an inevitable consequence of contact between objects of different temperature. Thermal insulation provides a region of insulation in which thermal conduction is reduced, creating a thermal break or thermal barrier , [ 1 ] or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the lower-temperature body.
Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. 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.

In engineering, a heat shield is a component designed to protect an object or a human operator from being burnt or overheated by dissipating, reflecting, and/or absorbing heat. [1] The term is most often used in reference to exhaust heat management and to systems for dissipating frictional heat.

The first car registered to drive on the road with full LED rear lights was Land Rover's LCV 2/3 concept car in the 1990s. [143] At the time, the only light function that was difficult to reproduce was the reverse light, as white LEDs did not yet exist.
