The article presents a patent proposition of a composite – sandwich panel made of aerogel mat and a composition of encapsulated phase-change material PCM and epoxy resin modified by glycolysis based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) waste. A multifunctional thermal insulation material with a large heat capacity was obtained. This ability makes it possible to limit the temperature fluctuation in the space encased with the composite. In addition, thanks to the use of aerogel mat, which is characterized by much higher thermal insulation than commonly available materials, it is possible to achieve the assumed thermal resistance using more than two times lower thickness of insulation. The combination of aerogel and resin-PCM makes it possible to give the material virtually any shape. After the hardening process is completed, it has incomparably greater tensile, bending and compression strengths than Styrofoam and mineral wool. These features predispose it for use in situations where high thermal insulation is required while maintaining a low thickness of insulation material and a large thermal capacity of the housing material is indicated, e.g. thin divisions used in passive buildings, window joinery elements, engine compartments and cabin components in vehicles, household appliances etc.

Many plant wastes are not currently used in production, they are disposed of in landfills or incinerated. The aim of this study is to develop a composite thermal insulation material from unused spinning waste of flax and cotton fibers and soft wood waste. Samples of thermal insulation materials from plant waste were made by drying using the technology of production of soft wood fiber boards. For composite board defined physico-mechanical characteristics and thermal conductivity. The experiment was carried out according to a second-order plan, regression models of the dependences of the material indicators on the proportion of the binder additive, drying temperature and the proportion of wood waste additives were developed. The study showed that composites from unused spinning waste of plant fibers and soft wood waste have the necessary strength under static bending, the swelling in thickness after staying in water is much lower in comparison with the performance of boards from other plant fillers. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the boards is comparable with the indicator for mineral wool boards.

In order to reduce the amounts of work at the construction site, single‐ply dual density thermal insulating roofing boards are used with increasing frequency for thermal insulation of flat roofs. In this case, the joints between boards are not overlapped by the other ply over it; therefore gaps of varying width form between the sides of the boards through the entire thickness of the insulating layer, whose effect on the effective thermal conductivity of the thermal insulating layer must be evaluated. The aim of this project was to assess the reliability of standard method, used to determine the impact of such air gaps on the effective thermal conductivity of the thermal insulating layer by comparing the results of calculations and the results of measurements of thermal conductivity, also to determine the correction factors for thermal transmittance of horizontal thermal insulation layers due to the forming vertical air gaps between the single‐ply mineral wool boards. After measurements of thermal resistances of 50 mm thick thermal insulation board with the air gaps which width varied from 3 mm to 20 mm, it was determined that the thermal conductivity value of the air gaps increases with the increment of the width of air gaps. After completion the experimental measurements of thermal conductivity it was determined that the height of closed and unventilated or partly ventilated air gaps has no effect on the properties of effective thermal conductivity of the thermal insulation layer when the air gap width is up to 5 mm. When wider unventilated or partly ventilated air gaps occur, the effective thermal conductivity coefficient increases proportionally as the height of the air gaps increases. Calculated according to the standard method the affix to the thermal transmittance is overly general and not always appropriate. In some cases it is 6 times higher or 4 times lower than the measured one. In this paper a method to evaluate the effects of air gaps by the use of correction factor to the thermal transmittance of the horizontal thermal insulating layer is proposed. Santrauka Nornt sumažinti darbų apimtis statybos vietoje, stogams šiltinti vis dažniau naudojamos vienu sluoksniu klojamos dvitankės termoizoliacinės plokštės. Šiuo atveju plokščių sandūros neperdengiamos, todėl tarp plokščių kraštinių susidaro įvairaus pločio plyšių, kurių įtaka termoizoliacinio sluoksnio šilumai perduoti turi būti įvertinta. Šio darbo tikslas yra įvertinti standartinio metodo, taikomo tokių plyšių poveikiui sluoksnio šilumos laidumui, patikimumui nustatyti lyginant skaičiavimo ir šilumos laidumo matavimų rezultatus, nustatyti horizontaliojo termoizoliacinio sluoksnio šilumos perdavimo koeficiento pataisas dėl vertikaliųjų oro plyšių susidarymo. Apskaičiavus 50 mm storio termoizoliacinio sluoksnio oro plyšių šilumines varžas, kai plyšių plotis yra nuo 3–20 mm, nustatyta, kad oro plyšių šilumos laidumo koeficiento vertė didėja didėjant oro plyšio pločiui. Atlikus eksperimentinius šilumos laidumo matavimus, nustatyta, kad susidarančių uždarų ir nevėdinamų arba iš dalies vėdinamų oro plyšių aukštis neturi įtakos termoizoliacinio sluoksnio šilumos laidumo savybėms, kai oro plyšys yra iki 5 mm pločio. Esant platesniems uždariems ir nevėdinamiems oro plyšiams, šilumos laidumo koeficientas proporcingai didėja didėjant oro plyšių aukščiui. Pagal standartinį metodą skaičiuotas šilumos perdavimo koeficiento priedas yra per daug apibendrinantis ir ne visada tinkamas. Kai kuriais atvejais jis yra 6 kartus didesnis arba 4 kartus mažesnis už išmatuotąjį. Šiame darbe pasiūlytas horizontaliojo termoizoliacinio sluoksnio šilumos perdavimo koeficiento priedo, naudojamo plyšių įtakai įvertinti, skaičiavimo metodas.

Computational modeling represents useful tool for the assessment of newly designed or refurbished building materials and structures. Especially, when complex buildings elements need to be assessed from a hygrothermal point of view, the computational modeling is the right approach with desired power and accuracy. In this paper a historical wall element is investigated using two-dimensional simulation in order to study the effect of application of several insulation materials in various scenarios. In total two insulation materials are investigated (mineral wool, wood fiber boards) that are applied in three different scenarios. All simulations are performed under real climatic load. The results of the computational simulations reveal potential weak points in system application and can provide engineers and designers with valuable recommendations and practical information. The best results were obtained for thermal insulation from mineral wool. On the other hand, an improper system application can lead to a significant devaluation of the beneficial effects on the thermal performance of the studied brick element.

Modern technologies are not standing still, and scientists are trying not only to invent new building materials, but also to find non-standard use of various raw materials that were previously considered unsuitable for use. Innovative technologies are actively used for modern construction of buildings, in particular, some types of new materials are used in the construction of various facilities. This is especially true in areas where it is not possible to import or use ordinary building materials for various reasons. Often, when designing a building, developers are wondering whether it is worth making the house warm during construction, and which insulation for the walls of the house is better to choose. This article addresses the question of which insulation for walls is most suitable for construction. The most common are mineral insulation, which are represented on the market today in the form of basalt slabs, fiberglass, etc. They have such advantages as low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation and vapor permeability. The article presents a table with comparative performance characteristics of a mineral wool stone slab and a fiberglass slab. Stone or basalt wool has several advantages. It is able to withstand significant temperatures and temperature changes, the mats are easy to transport, convenient to install. In our opinion, a serious alternative to basalt in the production of thermal insulation materials is volcanic ash. One of the main features of volcanic ash are its building qualities, such as good thermal insulation and an environmentally friendly composition. Since here we are considering the possibility of producing insulation materials based on volcanic ash, we performed a thermal calculation of the enclosing structures. Also in the tables are the costs of transportation of volcanic ash from the field to the point of the proposed production of insulating material. Volcanic ash can be widely used in countries with high volcanic activity as an inexpensive raw material for the manufacture of building materials. It does not require additional processing and has a number of useful properties.
