CPD Fundamentals Series 8 Module 2:Insulation

The primary function of thermal insulation in British buildings is to keep them warm. on hot days in summer insulation will also reduce heat gain through the building fabric. The majority of the thermal efficiency requirements of the modern buildings are achieved by insulation products. However, the structural elements, such as blockwork, flooring and roofing materials play an increasing role in improving buildings' thermal performance. This module focuses upon the use of thermal insulation for heat retention in buildings.
