A study of thick thermal insulation with density foam polystyrene (EPS)

Abstract

Energy-efficient construction requires the use of thermal insulation materials of high thickness compared to traditional construction. Thus, there is a need to conduct research for thick insulation products. The paper presents the results of the measurements of thermal parameters for foam polystyrenes (EPS) with low density and of different thicknesses. The experimental work has been carried out in the Water Center Laboratory WULS-SGGW.
