A Study on Design Improvement for Application of Sandwich Insulation System

Abstract:

The heat loss through the envelope accounts for the largest portion of the energy consumption in a building. It takes up more than 40% of the total heating and cooling energy. Therefore, a high performance insulation envelope technology that is 80% more energy efficient than the existing systems should be the basis of passive house construction. This study aims to improve the detailed design for efficient application of sandwich insulation system. And finally, an optimal sandwich insulation detail was selected.
