Thermal insulation
In hot or cold climate, it is desirable to use materials that do not transmit heat easily. This will maintain the proper air temperatures more economically. One way is to reduce thermal conductivity. As a rule, the gaps in the structure may be filled with an insulating material to prevent the heat flux through the design. Modern building, as a rule, insulated with one of the following: mineral wool, expanded mica, balsam wool, urethane, sometimes cork in any sheet or granular form...
