Abstract Low-emissivity (low-e) materials can be used in order to reduce energy usage in
both opaque and transparent areas of a building. The main focus for low-e materials is to …

Slightly more than a decade ago, reflective multi-foil insulations were introduced onto the
building market as a highly promising new type of thermal insulation material. These …

This paper discusses the possibility of increasing the energy performance of thermal brick
through integration with two different technologies: the first is based on the insertion of …

As a novel material with low infrared emissivity, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene is promising in infrared
stealth. However, the problem that MXene is easily oxidized poses a great challenge to its …

We investigate heat transfer in one-dimensional multi-layer models of polymer foams and
determine their equivalent thermal conductivities. The proposed model considers the …

The apparent thermal conductivity of several insulation materials was measured over a
range of temperatures. A newly developed multilayer reflective insulation system called …

The building envelope's insulating efficiency is always a key element regarding the energy
consumption control of the whole building. This article aims to propose a simple method …

In this study, aluminum foil (AF) and expanded perlite (EP) were used as the reinforcing
fillers to improve the ablation properties of phenyl methyl vinyl silicone rubber composites …

Energy consumptions in buildings can be reduced considerably using insulation materials.
Even in well-insulated buildings energy consumption can be reduced further by insulating …

To obtain traceable thermal resistance of radiant barriers for building insulation laboratory
tests have been carried out. Heat flow meter apparatus and guarded hot box methods have …
