State-of-the-art thermal insulation solutions like vacuum insulation panels (VIP) and aerogels have low thermal conductivity, but their drawbacks may make them unable to be the thermal insulation solutions that will revolutionize the building industry regarding energy-efficient building envelopes. Nevertheless, learning from these materials may be crucial to make new and novel high-performance thermal insulation products. This study presents a review on the state-of-the-art air-filled thermal insulation materials for building purposes, with respect to both commercial and novel laboratory developments. VIP, even if today’s solutions require a core with vacuum in the pores, are also treated briefly, as they bear the promise of developing high-performance thermal insulation materials without the need of vacuum. In addition, possible pathways for taking the step from today´s solutions to new ones for the future using existing knowledge and research are discussed. A special focus is made on the possible utilization of the Knudsen effect in air-filled nanopore thermal insulation materials.

Improving Thermal Insulation of Timber Frame Walls by Retrofitting with Vacuum Insulation Panels – Experimental and Theoretical Investigations
Sveipe, Erland; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Wegger, Erlend; Uvsløkk, Sivert; Grynning, Steinar; Thue, Jan Vincent; Time, Berit; Gustavsen, Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Many of the Norwegian buildings from the 1960s–1980s with timber frame walls are ready for retrofitting. Retrofitting of these buildings with vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) may be performed without significant changes to ... -
Hygrothermal simulations of thermally insulated basement envelopes - Importance of boundary conditions below grade
Asphaug, Silje Kathrin; Time, Berit; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hygrothermal simulations are widely used to predict and optimise the hygrothermal performances of building envelopes. For the walls and floors in basements, however, determining the variation of the exterior hygrothermal ... -
Simple Modelling Procedure for the Indoor Thermal Environment of Highly Insulated Buildings Heated by Wood Stoves
Georges, Laurent; Skreiberg, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Space heating using wood stoves is a popular solution in many European countries. The nominal power of the state-of-the-art stoves is oversized compared to the needs of highly insulated buildings, leading to a risk of ...
