lämmöneristykset
Lämpöeristykset, or thermal insulation in English, refers to materials and methods used to reduce heat transfer between objects or spaces. The primary purpose of thermal insulation is to keep heat where it is wanted and out of where it is not. This is crucial for energy efficiency in buildings, where insulation helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating in winter and cooling in summer. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The effectiveness of thermal insulation is measured by its thermal resistance, commonly known as the R-value.
In construction, insulation is typically installed in walls, roofs, floors, and around pipes and ducts. Proper
