Why did insulation come about?

Insulation was developed to improve energy efficiency in buildings by reducing heat transfer, thereby maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures regardless of external weather conditions. It also helps to lower energy costs and decrease reliance on heating and cooling systems. Additionally, insulation contributes to noise reduction and enhances overall building comfort and sustainability. As energy conservation became a priority, particularly in response to rising energy costs and environmental concerns, the demand for effective insulation solutions increased.


Why did they turn the external tank on the space shuttle orange and not leave it white?

Actually, it is originally orange from the insulation they use, but they used to paint it white. They stopped painting them white to save weight on paint, I think like 600 pds or so.


What is duct that you put on insulation?

You insulate any ductwork where you want to control the temperature diffences between the inside and outside of the duct. One example would be the combustion air duct, usually a round sheet metal line that comes from the outside and ends near the furnace and/or water heater. Typically this would be insulated with fiberglass padding held in place with a plastic coating. Larger, rectangular ductwork can be insulated with internal or external insulation, not always fiberglass, of verying thicknesses.

How do you insulate house walls that don't have cavities?

You can do one of two things. Firstly, you could erect a second wall outside the house. Of course there are many instances where this would not be feasible. In such cases, one would have to baton the walls from the interior to create a cavity, which would then be filled with some form of material with a high insulation rating i.e. fibreglass wool or rigid insulation boards. To provide further insulation, special plasterboard (drywall) can be purchased with higher insulation ratings than regular plasterboard. However, using these thicker boards would further encroach on the room in question, which might not be very desirable at all since the batons would already take a couple inches away. Alternatively use an External Wall Insulation system.
