Factors Influencing Performance
Insulation performance is influenced by many factors the most prominent of which include:
- Thermal conductivity ("k" or "λ" value)
- Surface emissivity ("ε" value)
- Insulation thickness
- Density
- Specific heat capacity
- Thermal bridging
It is important to note that the factors influencing performance may vary over time as material ages or environmental conditions change.
