In an environment that experiences drastically changing temperatures it is potentially more energy efficient to use insulative walls that can change their apparent thermal conductivities. This paper suggests a nano-porous material able to change its thermal conductivity ...
This study looks at U-values and heat transfer for houses built in Libya, of which the majority studied were built in the 1970's when the locally produced building materials didn't consist of any insulating materials. Measurements of thermal conductivity of the various building materials were ...
