Building Physics and Environment Research Department Consultations

Q. What are the important thermo-physical and moisture properties of Building materials and insulating materials?
A.

• The important thermo-physical properties of building and thermal insulating materials are density (kg/m3), thermal conductivity (w/moC) and specific heat (J/kgoC).
• The important moisture properties of building and thermal insulating materials are the water absorption and vapour primability.

Q. What are the important thermal-insulating materials found in Egypt?
A. There are different types of thermal insulating materials such as glass wool , rock wool, expanded polystyren , extruded polystyren , perlitete , vermoclite and Gas. Concrete which are used in insulation of building to conserve energy and improve the internal climate of building to thermal human comfor range.
