| Abstract | ||
| Energy efficiency of the built environment greatly depends on the performance of the insulating materials used in the building envelope construction. Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) offer excellent thermal resistance properties that can enhance the energy efficiency of the insulating systems and provide savings in energy consumption. However, VIP systems are virtually unknown and rarely used for building construction. There is a need to investigate the use of VIPs in various components of building envelopes (walls – roofs) and their long-term function and performance. | ||
