Superinsulation

What does it do?


Superinsulation refers to the design, construction, and retrofitting of building structures such that heat generated is primarily by intrinsic or internal heat sources. These heat sources include surplus heat generated by appliances and the body heat of the occupants. This approach requires strict adherence to certain insulation standards while steering clear of passive solar design (PSD) techniques or excess use of thermal mass.
