2. Acoustic panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_panel

   An acoustic board is a board made from sound absorbing materials, designed to provide sound insulation. [3] [4] Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Vacuum insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_panel

   A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction, refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials. [1] [2]

6. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   A well-built home using SIPs will have a tighter building envelope and the walls will have higher insulating properties, which leads to fewer drafts and a decrease in operating costs. Also, due to the standardized and all-in-one nature of SIPs, construction time can be less than for a frame home, as well as requiring fewer tradespeople.

7. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

   The first expanded polystyrene ICF Wall forms were developed in the late 1960s with the expiration of the original patent and the advent of modern foam plastics by BASF. [citation needed] Canadian contractor Werner Gregori filed the first patent for a foam concrete form in 1966 with a block "measuring 16 inches high by 48 inches long with a tongue-and-groove interlock, metal ties, and a waffle ...
