Gas-filled panels: a thermally improved building insulation.

Author(s) : GRIFFITH B. T., ARASTEH D.

Summary

Discusses the use of gas-filled panels (GFPs) as high-performance, non-CFC insulation for building applications. States they combine low-emissivity surfaces and multiple, low-conductivity gas-filled cavities to minimise radiation, convection and conduction. Presents some findings from independent measurements of the thermal performance of GFP designs in a US laboratory. Discusses technical aspects of GFP barrier materials and their gas transmission rate requirements, baffle component characteristics and potential gas fills.
