Usually, insulation performance is poor in older buildings. This study aimed at retrofitting insulation to existing buildings by applying vacuum insulation panels (VIPs). As a state-of-art thermal insulation, a VIP has almost 10 times insulation performance than conventional thermal insulations. However, conventional VIPs also have issues, such as: expensive production cost, lack of airtightness, complex construction, low durability and big thermal bridge. In order to develop new type VIP and retrofit insulation to existing buildings, the authors divided the study into retrofit insulation in windows with developed transparency VIP and retrofit insulation to walls with developed filling type VIP.

  • Modulation of Interfacial Thermal Transport Between Fumed Silica Nanoparticles by Surface Chemical Functionalization for Advanced Thermal Insulation
    Modulation of interfacial thermal transport between fumed silica nanoparticles by surface chemical functionalization for advanced thermal insulation Takashi Kodama†*, Nobuhiro Shinohara‡, Shih-Wei Hung§, Bin Xu†, Masanao Obori†, Donguk Suh†, Junichiro Shiomi†* †Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-856, Japan ‡Research Center, AGC Inc., 1150 Uzawa-cho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama 221-8756, Japan §Department of Materials Science and Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Keywords interfacial heat transport, thermal insulator, thermal boundary conductance, silica nanocomposite, porous material, vacuum insulated panel, silane coupling. 1 ABSTRACT Since solid-state heat transport in a highly porous nanocomposite strongly depends on the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between constituent nanomaterials, further suppression of the TBC is important for improving performance of thermal insulators. Here, targeting a nanocomposite fabricated by stamping fumed silica nanoparticles, we perform a wide variety of surface functionalization on fumed silica nanoparticles by silane coupling method and investigate the impact on the thermal conductivity (Km). The Km of the silica nanocomposite is approximately 20 and 9 mW/m/K under atmospheric and vacuum condition at the material density of 0.2 g/cm3 without surface functionalization, respectively, and the experimental results indicate that the Km can be modulated depending on the chemical structure of molecules. The surface modification with a linear alkyl chain of optimal length significantly suppresses Km by approximately 30%, and the suppression can be further enhanced to approximately 50% with the infrared opacifier. The magnitude of suppression was found to sensitively depend on the length of terminal chain. The magnitude is also related to the number of reactive silanol groups in the chemical structure, where the surface modification with fluorocarbon gives the largest suppression.

  • A REVIEW of COMPARATIVE EVALUATION of THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS for BUILDING WALL APPLICATIONS Dr
    ISSN: 2277-9655 [Jain* et al., 5(10): October, 2016] Impact Factor: 4.116 IC™ Value: 3.00 CODEN: IJESS7 IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY A REVIEW OF COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS FOR BUILDING WALL APPLICATIONS Dr. RK. Jain *, Chouhan Balaji, Dhananjay Singh * Department of Mechanical Engineering, ITM University, Gwalior, India. Department of Mechanical Engineering, VREC, Nizamabad, India. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.159460 ABSTRACT Attention towards the thermal performance of building materials, particularly thermal insulation systems for buildings, has grown in recent years. Thermal insulation of building walls has a significant effect on the reduction of thermal energy consumption in buildings Making a thermal insulation of a building external wall can in terms of economic aspects be approached as an investment. In this investment the cost is related to the purchase, transport and laying the insulation, whereas the profits are linked to the reduction of thermal energy consumption necessary to heat a building. Objective of this paper is to provide a comparative study of thermal conductivity material for packaging insulation which will hold up over a long period of years over relatively wide temperature ranges and which will prevent the passing of the insulating gas from the package to the exterior of the package and which will also prevent the passage of air into the package. KEYWORDS: Building walls, Thermal Insulation, Thermal Energy, Insulation materials. INTRODUCTION Heat is transferred by conduction, convection or radiation, or by a combination of all three. Heat always moves from warmer to colder areas; it seeks a balance. The greater the temperature difference, the faster the heat flows to the colder area.

New construction projects provide substantial opportunities for energy efficiency measures, but they represent only a small portion of the building stock. Conversely, while existing buildings are plentiful, they typically have a much narrower range of feasible energy efficiency options. Therefore, there will continue to be a need for the development of new and improved energy efficiency measures for new building construction and even more so for deep retrofits of existing buildings. This thesis provides an overview of the research performed into the on-going development at MIT of a high-performance panelized insulation system based on silica aerogel.
