Building Energy Conservation Insulation Techniques

Nov 16, 2025 Leave a message

The key to building energy conservation insulation lies in material selection, structural design, and detail handling. Specific techniques are outlined below:

 

External Wall Insulation

Material Selection: Prioritize aerated concrete blocks (Grade B05, 300mm thick, K-value 0.12) or graphite EPS boards (50mm thick). These directly meet insulation requirements, eliminating the need for external cladding.

 

Composite Construction: Employ a "sandwich insulation wall" (120mm load-bearing brick wall + 50mm graphite EPS board + 120mm load-bearing brick wall) to balance fire resistance, burglary prevention, and durability.

 

Thin-Coat Rendering System: Apply EPS or XPS boards externally, with a recommended thickness of 10-12cm. Seal joints with aluminum foil tape to create a vapor barrier.

 

Roof Insulation

‌Sloped Roofs: Employ "integrated tile-laying + insulation technology" with a structure of wooden battens + OSB board + self-adhesive waterproof membrane + tile battens + 10cm XPS board, reducing the roof K-value to 0.25. ‌

 

‌Flat Roofs:‌ Employ "blanket-style insulation": insulated concrete slab + brick-built cavity layer + 10cm insulation board + sealed insulation layer. Slope ≥5%, with ≥4 drainage outlets. ‌

 

Window Energy Efficiency

‌Thermally Broken Aluminum Window Frames:‌ 34mm wide thermal break, thermal transmittance K≤2.0, paired with 6+16+6 double-silver Low-E insulated glass (K-value 1.4-1.6). ‌

 

‌Window-to-wall ratio control: South-facing ≤40%, east/west-facing ≤30%, north-facing ≤25%. Window sill height 450-600mm for natural shading. ‌

 

Ground Moisture Barrier

XPS Board Installation: Lay 50mm XPS boards over compacted subgrade soil, leaving 20mm expansion joints. Apply aluminum foil reflective membrane on exterior surface (reduces heat transfer by 15%).

 

Cold Bridge Treatment

Door/Window Corner Sealing: Apply 20mm insulating mortar around openings. Add 0.5% waterproofing agent in southern regions to prevent condensation.

 

Wall corner insulation strips: Adhere 10mm EPS strips flush with the finished floor level to prevent condensation.
