Highlights Recent years progress on silica aerogel-containing building materials. Silica aerogel benefit as lightweight, thermal insulating and translucent material. Thermal insulation panels and blankets based on silica aerogels. Silica aerogels incorporation in cement, mortars and concrete composites. Allying translucence and insulation features for glazing & solar collector systems.
Abstract Silica aerogels hold remarkable properties, particularly their translucence/transparency and extremely low thermal conductivity and density, for buildings thermal insulation purpose. Incorporated in composites or framing systems, they reduce the overall weight of the building envelope while increasing its thermal resistance, being especially valuable for energy-efficient retrofitting solutions, spanning from covering façades to window panes. This review presents the production process of silica aerogels in brief, their relevant properties regarding building’s needs, and a full survey of last years’ scientific achievements on silica aerogel-containing materials for buildings, such as panels, blankets, cement, mortars, concrete, glazing systems, solar collector covers, among others.
