How Insulation Board Types Influence Energy Efficiency in Building Design
Reflective Insulation Boards
Reflective insulation boards are designed to reflect radiant heat, making them particularly effective in hot climates where solar gain is a concern. These boards often feature a reflective foil surface that can significantly reduce cooling costs by minimizing heat absorption3. When used in conjunction with other insulation types, they can enhance overall energy efficiency by providing an additional barrier against heat transfer.
