Reflective insulation
Reflective insulation such as reflective foil can reflect up to 95% of outside radiant heat.[3] This type of insulation includes:
- reflective foil
- multi-cell foil batts
- concertina-type foil batts.
The Manningham Centre, VIC
To cope with the need for more office space, the Manningham Centre purchased a customised, modular energy efficient building.
Features of the building include double-glazed windows and external doors, high thermally-rated ceiling (R3.5 glasswool batts) and wall (R2.5 rockwool soundcheck batts) insulation and EnviroSeal Wall Wrap to external walls. This insulation saves on future heating and cooling costs.[2]
