Thermal resistance characteristics of film insulator with low-emissivity

Abstract

Lately, constructions of large and high-rise buildings are steadily increasing, and various building envelope systems were developed in accordance with this trend. However, insulation methods applied to the building envelope may cause interior condensation, energy loss and discoloration of walls. In this study, ventilated insulation system was applied simultaneously considering conduction, convection and radiation of heat. This research performed a field experiment to evaluate insulating performance comparing ventilated insulation system with non-ventilated insulation system.
