Summary on the evaluation indicator for thermal insulation performance of reflective thermal insulation coatings

摘要

Reflective thermal insulation coatings（RTIc）are applied widely in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone and in Hot Summer and Warm Winter Zone. A feasible evaluation method for energy saving effect is very important for acceptance of energy efficient building construction. Combining with the research on RTIc at home and aboard, series of evaluation indicators of thermal insulation performance and energy saving effect of RTIc such as solar reflectance, hemispherical emittance, temperature, thermal resistance, energy efficiency and thermal inertia were summarized and the existing problems and several suggestions were also proposed.
