Description
Summary:The passive cooling strategies in the buildings play a significant role to maintain thermal comfort. The growth of urbanization increased due to the population level and extension of human activities. In building sectors, thermal property modification (thermal insulation) in building envelopes (roof and wall) considered most energy efficient technology. Thermalinsulation considered most effective technology to provide the thermal comfort in buildings. This technology reduced theheat gain in the buildings when it incorporated with building envelopes and also it reduced the energy consumption in the building sectors. This paper aims to provide the systematic review of different types of recent insulation materials and its application in the building sectors for energy-saving opportunities. Also it presents the many general advantage of insulation materials with their thermo-physical properties.
