  2. Plenum space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenum_space

    Vertical section through a commercial building using HVAC plenum instead of airspace plenum. When both the supply and return ducts are constructed in this manner, it is possible to insulate the ducts and the dropped ceiling so that the upper airspace is not heated or cooled, increasing energy efficiency. This is a fully enclosed plenum.

  3. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

    Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. [1] Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.

  4. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

    Fabric ducts are available in various colors, with options for silk screening or other forms of decoration, or in porous (air-permeable) and non-porous fabric. The determination which fabric is appropriate (i.e. air-permeable or not) can be made by considering if the application would require an insulated metal duct.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Insulation is a barrier material to resist/reduce substance (water, vapor, etc. ) /energy (sound, heat, electric, etc.) to transfer from one side to another. Heat/ Thermal Insulation is a barrier material to resist / block / reflect the heat energy (either one or more of the Conduction, Convection or Radiation) to transfer from one side to another.

  6. Superinsulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superinsulation

    The passivhaus standard combines superinsulation with other techniques and technologies to achieve ultra-low energy use.. Superinsulation is an approach to building design, construction, and retrofitting that dramatically reduces heat loss (and gain) by using much higher insulation levels and airtightness than average.

  7. Vacuum insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_panel

    A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction , refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials.
