Applications of High-Efficiency Insulations for Building Energy Saving
To fight global warming, we must understand what our energy options are. By far the most important option is efficiency, which is the easiest, quickest, and least expensive way to fight global warming. The most efficient way to decrease the energy consumption of buildings is to increase the insulation of thermal envelopes such as the roof and exterior walls. Globally, many countries have targets to reduce building energy consumption and to provide energy efficient buildings such as passive house and zero energy buildings. This paper presents the applications of high-efficiency insulations for passive house and zero energy buildings. Insulation cost is a small percentage of the total construction cost, but the saved energy cost is large making payback periods short. Considering the possibility of rise of oil price and the exhaustion of fossil fuel, insulation should be added beyond the level that any building insulation code requires.
