High performance insulation materials: the key to building energy-efficient buildings

Under the trend of pursuing energy conservation and environmental protection in the construction industry, high-performance insulation materials have become an indispensable key factor.

Among them, a new type of aerogel thermal insulation material has attracted much attention. Aerogel is a kind of solid material with nanoscale pore structure. Its density is extremely low, but it has super thermal insulation performance. Its thermal conductivity is much lower than that of traditional thermal insulation materials such as rock wool and polystyrene foam board, which can effectively prevent heat transfer. It performs well both in preventing indoor heat loss in cold winter and blocking outdoor heat entry in hot summer.

In practical applications, aerogel thermal insulation materials can be widely used in exterior walls, roofs, doors and windows of buildings. For example, in some new energy-saving building projects, aerogel thermal insulation materials are laid inside the exterior wall, which significantly improves the thermal insulation effect of the building, greatly reduces the energy consumption of the building and reduces the energy expenditure.

Moreover, aerogel thermal insulation materials also have good fire resistance, corrosion resistance and durability, and can play a long-term and stable role in complex building environments. Although its production cost is relatively high at present, with the development of technology and the promotion of large-scale production, the price is expected to gradually decrease, which will be popularized in more construction projects and contribute an important force to creating an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building environment.
