| Abstract: | Thermal insulation consisting of one or more low emittance surfaces, bounding one or more enclosed air spaces. Standard types of insulation, such as fibreglass, foam, and cellulose primarily reduce heat transfer by trapping air or some type of a gas. Thus, these products or technologies reduce convection as a primary method of reducing heat transfer. |
