Thermal Insulation and Radiation Control Technologies for Buildings
This book offers a unique treatment of building insulating products and the integration of these products with building components. This book was written for all those involved in building design, specification, construction, and commissioning, providing them with an understanding of and appreciation for the wide variety of thermal insulation products and technologies available for use in all types of buildings. The book proceeds from basic definitions and discussion of heat-transfer topics and thermal insulation concepts, to the design and use of these products. The impact of thermal insulation on dynamic building performance, including factors other than heating and cooling, is also discus...

Development and Use of an Apparatus for In Situ Evaluation of the Thermal Performance of Building-Envelope Components
R values determined in laboratory settings, according to adopted standard methods are reproducible quantities that predict the thermal resistance of various building materials under specified conditions. Insulation materials installed in walls, floors, and ceilings, however, are subject to a wide range of variables, including air and moisture ingress, biological challenges, settling, and other physical changes and temperature variations. Hence, there is a need for accurate in situ thermal measurements to quantify building system thermal resistance under actual environmental conditions. A self-supporting portable instrument that satisfies the requirements of ASTM C1046 has been developed to m...

Development of an Advanced Foam Insulation Based on Thermosetting Resins
A new cellular foam for thermal insulation based on a mixture of thermosetting (nonpolyurethane) resins that has superior fire resistance and low apparent thermal conductivity has been developed. The resin components can be produced from either crude oil or coke as a starting material to produce rigid foams with densities in the range from 30 to 500 kg/m3. The new foam has very low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and excellent fire resistance. Properties and applications of the new foam in construction and shells for industrial heat- and oil-pipe line insulation, and for insulating hollow brick or concrete structures will be discussed in this paper.

This book presents the most current research on heat flow in materials, ranging from metals to newer materials such as thin films and nanowires.
The Effect of Air Flow on Measured Heat Transport Through Wall Cavity Insulation
The methods commonly used for determining the thermal resistance of insulations in wall cavities do not include the effect of air movement through the insulation. Contributions to the total building heating or cooling load include the change in enthalpy of air moving through an insulation and the heat flux through the insulation due to the imposed thermal gradient. The two effects are not independent since the air movement affects the temperature distribution in the insulation. A heat-flow-meter apparatus meeting the requirements of the Standard Test Method for Steady-State Thermal Transmission Properties by Means of the Heat Flow Meter Apparatus ASTM C 518 has been configured to allow uniform air flow across thermal test specimens. The air flow is parallel to the heat flow direction. Air is introduced into the specimen chamber of the heat-flow-meter apparatus from an external source. The heat-flow-meter with controlled air flow has been used to determine total heat-flow rates as a function of air-flow rate, air-flow direction, and temperature for commonly used wall cavity insulation.
