Wall Insulation Materials in Different Climate Zones: A Review on Challenges and Opportunities of Available Alternatives

Buildings account for nearly one-third of overall energy consumption in today’s world status, which a considerable part is used indoor conditioning. Energy efficiency enhancement buildings components and technologies key priority, given the essential need carbon neutrality climate change mitigation around world. Exterior wall insulation considered as most effective technology protecting against continual ambient fluctuations. Proper design implementation would lead to performance enhancement, conservation well improved thermal comfort. They can also protect building structures corrosion heat fatigue, extending life buildings. There are many different types materials currently on market, each with its own set qualities functionality. This paper aims examine qualities, benefits, drawbacks several exterior technologies, provide recommendations how use various forms climates.
