Poor sound insulation is a problem for buildings, not only in purely constructive terms, but it also has an impact on the well-being and health of its occupants. Therefore, the interior noise of buildings has become a problem that requires effective constructive...

Thermal conductivity is a physical property that appears in any material, including polyurethane, and it measures the heat conduction capacity through it, or in other words, the transport of heat energy through a body. This energy movement is produced by the difference...

Knowing the insulation needs of buildings is fundamental to improve their energy efficiency and so that they make a more intelligent use of energy. Therefore, designing their envelope with the optimum insulation thickness is the best strategy to get the most benefits...

Control of indoor air humidity is key to the healthiness of buildings. Even if at first glance we can not perceive the amount of water vapour that is present in the room, on average a person perspires between 3 and 5 litres of water vapour per day.

A thermal insulation material is, generally speaking, a material used in construction and other industries to improve the thermal behavior of building envelopes. All the materials used in the building sector have a higher or lower resistance to thermal transmittance.

Choosing the right insulation materials for a façade is one of the most important decisions when designing a building, since the building's energy efficiency and the comfort of its occupants will depend on this choice to a great extent.
