The Significance of Extruded Board Insulation

Extruded boards can play an important role in buildings. The high requirements for thermal comfort lead to the need for a large amount of energy consumption for full heating of all rooms. About 40% of energy consumption can be attributed to buildings, mainly for heating or cooling. Adequate insulation is a basic task to ensure a healthy indoor environment and prevent structural damage. It is also a key factor in dealing with high energy consumption, as it can reduce heat flow through the building envelope. Good thermal insulation can also bring many benefits to buildings:
1. Prevent moisture from forming inside the building envelope and causing building damage. Insulation ensures that the room surface temperature is not lower than the critical level, thereby avoiding condensation and mold formation. According to building damage reports, 12.7% and 14% of building damage are caused by mold problems. If there is not enough insulation in the building, the high relative humidity in the building will lead to condensation and ultimately mold problems.
2. Create a comfortable thermal environment for people living in the building. Good thermal insulation allows a sufficiently high temperature in buildings with Kunming extruded boards, and it also achieves the same level of thermal comfort by providing relatively lower air temperatures in summer.
3. Reduce unwanted heating or cooling energy input. The insulation layer reduces heat exchange through the building envelope, allowing heating and cooling machines to achieve the same indoor air temperature with less energy input.
To determine whether insulation should be added, you first need to understand how much insulation you already have in your home and where. A qualified home energy auditor will include an insulation check as a routine part of a whole-house energy audit. However, you can sometimes self-assess in certain areas of your home, such as the attic. Here, visual inspection along with the use of a ruler can give you an idea of whether you can benefit from additional insulation.
