🌡️ THERMAL INSULATION IN BUILDINGS — WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Thermal insulation reduces the rate of heat transfer through building elements such as roofs, walls, and floors.
Appropriate insulation can improve indoor comfort and reduce the energy needed for heating or cooling.
🔹 Common Insulation Materials
Mineral wool.
Expanded or extruded polystyrene.
Polyurethane-based insulation products.
Other approved insulation systems suitable for the application.
🔹 Where Is Insulation Used?
🏠 Roofs and ceilings.
🧱 External walls.
🏢 Building envelopes.
❄️ Refrigerated spaces and specialized facilities.
🔹 What Should Be Considered?
📌 Thermal performance.
📌 Moisture control.
📌 Fire performance.
📌 Durability.
📌 Compatibility with the building envelope.
📌 Local climate and energy requirements.
⚠️ Insulation should be selected and installed as part of a properly designed building system.
Moisture and fire-safety requirements must not be overlooked.
