The calculation is simple: the better a building is insulated, the less heat is lost in winter - and the less energy is needed to achieve a comfortable room temperature. The calculation is simple: the ...

Why bother adding a layer of insulation to a brick wall, if you can just build that wall using hollow bricks that are stuffed with insulation? That's the thinking behind self-insulating bricks which ...

The search for better, greener building products — products that embody less energy and water, avoid toxic chemicals, use recycled waste for their manufacture, and minimize the use of nonrenewable ...

Wasted heat energy means wasted dollars. This is why effective heat management is of the upmost importance when manufacturing high-temperature applications. Ultimately, as temperatures and process ...

The calculation is simple: the better a building is insulated, the less heat is lost in winter - and the less energy is needed to achieve a comfortable room temperature. No wonder, then, that the ...

Better thermal insulation means lower heating costs - but this should not be at the expense of exciting architecture. A new type of brick filled with aerogel could make thin and highly insulating ...
