Abstract
Energy saving has witnessed continuous development in finding advanced solutions in thermal insulation, which provides cooling or heating for the building. Among the most potential methods is using nanomaterials in thermal insulation materials. Compared to conventional insulation, insulation made of nanomaterials can minimize heat transfer a hundredfold than other materials do and reflect extra heat. Besides, nanomaterials can be occupied small spaces due to their thin layers. The current study presents various studies investigating the role of nano-insulation materials in reducing transmission heat and saving energy consumption for building elements, especially those related to the wall structure. These materials are either nanocomposites or nano-cellular foamed panels. In the nanocomposite wall, nanomaterials can be bed dispersed within the matrix. At the same time, for the nano-cellular board, a blowing agent is involved in producing pores at the size of a nanoscale. The use of efficient nanomaterials and corresponding parameters have been intensely discussed in this review.
