Insulation in buildings is assuming tremendous importance and has a potential to reduce energy consumption to an extent of 15-18 %. A number of categories and range of insulation materials can be installed in roof, floor and walls of the building. Optimum level of building insulation not only helps lower monthly energy bills, but also adds to the overall comfort. Heat balance of a building would reveal that at least 15 to 20 % of the heat ingress into a building can be through walls and roof. Hence, insulating walls and roof is extremely critical in the energy performance of a building. Insulation helps maintain comfort temperature by reducing leakages. The paper deals with different categories and range of insulation materials, merits, demerits and their application in buildings. |
