Abstract

Insulation is one of the most effective methods intended for reducing energy consumption in both heating and cooling of buildings. Selecting the right materials and determining the optimum insulation thickness in building insulation application is an important issue. Moreover it is important to use green insulating materials in order to limit the environmental impact in the use of these solutions. A growing interest is focused on the incorporation of low cost recycled materials in building products and their potential use as insulating panels for both new buildings and refurbishments.
