soojustuse
Soojustuse is a term used in Estonian construction to describe the practice and system of insulating a building to resist heat flow. It encompasses design, selection of materials, and installation, with the aim of improving energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and reducing heating and cooling demands. Soojustuse can apply to walls, roofs, floors, and foundations, and may be part of broader building envelope strategy.
Common insulation materials include mineral wool, fiberglass, and various foamed plastics such as XPS, EPS, and
Performance is evaluated using thermal resistance (R-value) or thermal transmittance (U-value), with standards varying by country.
Soojustuse is a central element in modernization of existing buildings and in new construction, particularly in
