New Trends in Insulation

摘要

Insulation definitely matters as a key building-system component, but it's often overlooked as a first-choice, low-cost factor to optimize energy efficiency. As with many building products, new insulation technologies are continuously being developed. In addition to well-established, proven products, like fiber glass and rock and slag wool, the industry has experienced the evolution of various types of rigid board insulations, cellulose, and, more recently, foam insulations, including some that claim to be bio-based. Insulation products also include recycled cotton and sheep's wool.
