How Heat Is Transmitted?
Conduction: the transmission of heat from one molecule to another within a material or
from one material to another when they are held in direct contact.
Conductance: C, the amount of heat that will flow through the material in 1 hour /
sq. ft. of surface with a 1 degree Fahrenheit of temperature difference.
Total Heat Transmission: U, represents in Btu / sq. ft. / hour with 1 degree
temperature difference for a structure which may consist of several materials or spaces.

Spray Polyurethane Foam
(SPF) Insulation
■ A two component mixture comes together at the tip of a gun, and
forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto concrete slabs, into wall
cavities of an unfinished wall, against the interior side of sheathing, or
through holes drilled in sheathing or drywall into the wall cavity of a
finished wall.
Blanket Insulation
Batt Insulation
■ Batts are precut, whereas blankets are available in
continuous rolls.
Components of Batt and
Blanket Insulation
■ Fiberglass is a material made from extremely fine fibers
of glass. Made from molten
glass, usually with 20% to 30% recycled
industrial waste and post-consumer content.
■ Rock and slag wool. Usually made from rock (basalt, diabase)
or iron ore blast furnace slag.
Some rock wool contains
recycled glass. Nonflammable.
Corrugated Insulation
■ Corrugated Insulation from paper formed into shapes that produced enclosed air
pockets into small regular semi – circular corrugations and covering both sides with
sheet of flat paper to give strength and produce the air pockets.
Insulating material should
have the following
properties :
1. It should have high thermal resistance
2. It should be reasonably fire proof
3. It should be insect proof
4. It should be durable
5. It should be non- absorbent of moisture
6. It should be cheaper
7. It should be readily available
