Advances in residential wall technologies: simple ways of decreasing the whole building energy consumption.

Author(s) : KOSNY J.

Summary

The main objective of the paper is to document the most common thermal improvements in several wall technologies. The improvement results are analyzed based either on the R-value comparisons or on whole building energy consumption reduction. The paper is focused on small material configuration changes made in the clear wall scale of wall technologies. These changes are expected to bring significant whole building energy consumption reductions.
