Glass-Wool Insulation: ECBC Compliance and Green Building Aspect

Abstract:

The scope of the paper is to understand the compliance of the prescriptive requirement of Energy Conservation Building Code, 2007, ECBC-2007. It also reveals information of product and application that comfortably exceed the thermal requirement while maintaining high standard of Fire-safety and acoustic values. The environmental objective is also met by the product/application and that helps to satisfy requirement of project’s Green certification.
