Improvement of Thermal Insulation (Passive Buildings)

Abstract

Insulation is defined as a material or combination of materials, which retard the flow of heat. The materials can be adapted to any size, shape or surface, and forms. The energy saving concept consist much in effective thermal insulation which is vital for the accomplishment of the building development. By this means, heat losses of gains can be significant reduced. The reduction of heat losses in winter provides saving in heating costs and the reduction of heat gain in summer will reduce the cost of cooling; somewhere, summer air conditioning is provided. Building materials and particularly thermal insulation engage in recreation, an important role in both the consumption and conservation of energy. Passive buildings need a compact layer of insulation, which guarantees for both low heat losses and a high level of thermal comfort.
