|---|---|
| We propose a new lightweight, slim, high energy efficient, light-transmitting envelope system using VIP technology, providing for seamless, free-form designs for use in architectural projects. The research is based on envelope compo¬nents already existing on the market, es-pecially components implemented with aerogel insulation, as this is the most effective translucent thermal insulation there is today. This research revealed that no other insulation has all the fea¬tures required of the proposed new en¬velope model. Even so, some systems, namely, VIP technology, monolithic aerogel used for insulation purposes, and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) barriers, do have properties that could be exploited to generate this envelope. Using these design elements, data from tests and independent studies, we have defined a new, variable geometry, envelope insulation system with excellent energy-saving levels. | |
