A key step in making building low energy is to minimise heat transfer through the building fabric with insulation fabrics. However, how can a practitioner choose the most effective fabric for the job in hand? With so many thermal insulation materials on the market and each making claims associated with their performance, it is difficult for a specifier, contractor or an end user to select the insulation material most appropriate for a specific building project. \u003cem\u003eThermal Insulation Materials for Building Applications\u003c\/em\u003e aims to address that problem. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book presents the variations, technical details and capabilities of state-of-the-art of thermal insulation materials for building applications.
