  2. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

    Although foam-core panels gained attention in the 1970s, the idea of using stress-skinned panels for construction began in the 1930s. Research and testing of the technology was done primarily by Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) in Madison, Wisconsin , as part of a U.S. Forest Service attempt to conserve forest resources.

  3. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    Continuous insulation without thermal bridges or "insulation gaps", as is common in framed construction Thermal mass , when used well and combined with passive solar design, can play an important role in further reductions in energy use, especially in climates where it is common to have outside temperatures swing above inside temperatures ...

  4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Insulation may be categorized by its composition (natural or synthetic materials), form (batts, blankets, loose-fill, spray foam, and panels), structural contribution (insulating concrete forms, structured panels, and straw bales), functional mode (conductive, radiative, convective), resistance to heat transfer, environmental impacts, and more.

  5. Building insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

    A building design may have limited capacity for insulation in some areas of the structure. A common construction design is based on stud walls, in which thermal bridges are common in wood or steel studs and joists, which are typically fastened with metal. Notable areas that most commonly lack sufficient insulation are the corners of buildings ...

  6. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

    A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.
