Abstract

Aerogel-enhanced insulations provide significantly higher thermal resistance than typical building insulating materials; thereby their application in the building sector seems very promising. However, their performance under various environmental conditions should be properly addressed and significant amount of R&D activities are still required to investigate the long-term performance of aerogel-enhanced insulation products. This study focuses on the accelerated aging of several aerogel-enhanced materials using several laboratory-controlled conditions. The long-term impact of several environmental factors (such as elevated temperature, freezing and thawing cycles and high humidity levels) on thermal performance of aerogel-enhanced insulation materials is analysed.
