The 10 pages that link to Building insulation, each with the reason it gives.

• Thermal conductivityBroader topic: Its performance depends on low conductivity as well as thickness and installation.

• Climate change mitigationRelated: Better insulation lowers heating and cooling energy demand.

• Building envelopeRelated: Insulation slows heat flow across the envelope’s walls, roofs, and floors.

• PolystyreneRelated: Expanded and extruded polystyrene are widely used as rigid insulation boards.

• Flame retardantRelated: Some insulation products use flame retardants to meet construction fire-performance requirements.

• InsulationBroader topic: It applies insulation to walls, roofs, floors, and other building boundaries.

• Polyurethane foamRelated: Rigid and spray polyurethane foams are used to limit heat flow through building envelopes.

• Mineral woolNarrower topic: Mineral wool is widely installed in building envelopes to limit heat loss and gain.

• ThatchingRelated: The thickness and trapped air in thatch can help moderate heat flow.

• Glass woolNarrower topic: Glass wool is widely installed in building cavities and roof spaces to reduce heat loss or gain.
