Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Introduction Despite being hidden inside the walls and roof of a building, the insulation materials used within a structure play an extremely important role in determining the energy efficiency of a building envelope. Insulation materials are designed with the intended purpose of preventing heat exchange between the inside of the building and its...
Introduction Climate change’s negative impacts on the planet’s well-being have become familiar throughout the past decade as the frequency of extreme weather events, loss of natural ecosystems and concentrations of harmful atmospheric gases continues to rise. Rapid urbanization, widespread energy consumption, and overexploitation of...
Yurts are able to withstand temperatures up to -50°C, to understand this the blog analyzes the key characteristics and thermal properties of yurts.
Introduction The task of designing proper thermal protective clothing is not one for the narrow-minded as several variables must first be taken into consideration in order to make a garment that will provide adequate protection for the person wearing it. When thermal stress is combined with overexposure to a harsh environmental condition, it can...
Introduction A building envelope is the exterior or “shell” of a building. It offers protection against extreme weather, strong winds, and sun exposure. It also helps maintain a uniform indoor temperature. Technically, building envelope is an engineering system. It combines several different components. These components include...
