Thermal Metrics: k-value
Thermal performance is often reduced to a single number. Whether it is an insulation datasheet, an energy model, or a project specification, designers frequently encounter R-value, U-value, and k-value as indicators of performance. While all three are important, each tells only part of the story. The problem begins when one metric is used as a […]

The Hidden Thermal Bridge at Slab Edges and Anchors
This thermal bridge may not be visible during construction, but their effects become evident throughout the building life cycle through higher energy consumption, condensation, occupant discomfort and potential durability during issues. Curtain wall systems are popular in modern buildings for their clean appearance and daylight benefits. However, some parts of the system, such as slab […]

The Future of Thermal Insulation in 2035
How many people know the present of thermal insulation? Here we are exploring the future of thermal insulation in 2035. Every year, the world’s temperature is increasing. The main reason behind this is global warming. If this trend continues, temperatures above 45°C may become common in most of the regions by 2035. Figure 1. The […]
