Synopsis

Twenty-seven peer-reviewed papers give you the latest research in thermal engineering. Topics cover: Materials-vacuum panel insulations, a new category of high performance products, are used wherever high thermal resistance is desired in confined space applications, such as transportation, equipment, and appliances. Global Climate Changes-the cellular plastics insulation industry is re-engineering their products to address global climate change issues associated with their blowing agents. Interlaboratory Round-Robin Tests-the precision and bias of current test methods are examined. Moisture-Related Material Properties-a relevant topic because of the greater number of building envelope failures which appear to be caused by improper moisture control. STP 1426 is a valuable resource for insulation contractors, manufacturers, and installers; building science professionals; architects, and energy analysts.
