    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_insulation...

    A historic brick building in Germany covered with EIFS on the right side. Exterior insulation and finish system ( EIFS ) is a general class of non- load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system.

  4. Building envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_envelope

    The difference can be illustrated by the fact that an insulated attic floor is the primary thermal control layer between the inside of the house and the exterior while the entire roof (from the surface of the roofing material to the interior paint finish on the ceiling) is part of the building envelope.

  5. Thermal transmittance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_transmittance

    The difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the building is at least 5 °C (9.0 °F). The weather is cloudy rather than sunny (this makes accurate measurement of temperature easier). There is good thermal contact between the heat flux meter and the wall or roof being tested.

  6. Siding (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siding_(construction)

    Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable, more comfortable environment on the interior side.

  9. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

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

    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.
