Aerogels In Building Refurbishment - Spacetherm®
The presentation discusses the basics of thermal insulation in buildings, with a particular emphasis on historical and traditional construction methods. Looking at thermal performance properties of various insulation materials and how they affect the balance of heat, air and moisture movement. It then moves onto the uses of high performance aerogel insulation in a variety of applications.
This is followed by an overview of hygrothermal assessment methodologies and the use of WUFI software for modelling moisture flow in buildings with practical examples of the benefits this can bring to building design.
Topics covered in this CPD:
- Basics of Thermal Insulation
