Energy Efficiency in Building Materials
Course modified date: 28 يونيو 2022
In this course, learn about the benefits of thermal insulation and how it works in roof spaces.
Introduction
Thermal insulation has key benefits for protecting the environment; it reduces the amount of energy used from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. For this reason, thermal insulation is an important factor in promoting sustainability.Insulation has the greatest potential for reducing CO2 emissions. Carbon dioxide (i.e. the ‘greenhouse’ gas) is directly linked to global warming as it traps heat within the atmosphere and changes climatic temperatures across the globe.
Energy conserved through the use of insulation far outweighs the energy used in its manufacture. Only when a building achieves a ‘Low-Heat’ standard does insulation’s embodied carbon become significant.
