High Performance Thermal Insulations—Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs)
The spread of human civilization across the globe, including in the regions with extreme climatic conditions, is invariably linked with the development, availability and use of thermal insulation materials in built environment constructions. This chapter explains the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer through thermal insulation materials used for building envelope constructions, with particular focus on high performance thermal insulations and Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs). There are opportunities and barriers, like all novel construction materials, associated with the application of VIPs in building envelope constructions. A close review of the available information and data shows that global concern about climate change adaptation and/or mitigation is fueling these opportunities, and persistent effort by researchers and engineering design communities across the world is bringing down the barriers.
