Comparison of Thermal Insulation Materials

Abstract

This thesis is about comparing of different thermal insulation materials of different manufactures. In our days there are a lot of different thermal insulation materials which properties are very close to each other, but prices can be vary a lot. As a result, using of incorrect thermal insulation material in building envelope can provoke lower cost efficient and low energy efficient of the project. With a help of this work it is possible to choose most energy-efficient and cost-efficient thermal insulation material for building envelope with ventilated air cavity. Comparing of thermal insulation material made for outdoor walls of multi-storey building in region of Saint-Petersburg Russia. But way of calculations in this thesis is multipurpose and can be used also for another regions, and constructions of building envelopes.
