Characteristics of building thermal insulation

摘要

In daily life, thermal insulation has become obligatory in all building to minimize energy consumption. The use of thermal insulation in buildings causes to reduce not only using air-condition systems but also energy cost. In order to decrease in lost heat of the buildings, researchers have investigated new materials which are economic, renewable and procurable. The aim of this paper is to prepare an overview of the principle of thermal insulation. Furthermore, the most commonly used thermal insulation materials were investigated.
