Abstract

Thermal insulation of residential buildings to ensure their energy saving one of the important events. To perform thermal insulation. The most important issue is the correct   choice of insulating materials, their definition of types and optimal thickness. In the article, this is done from four thermal insulation materials: polystyrene foam (EPS), extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), mineral wool and penoplex, a study of the energy-economic feasibility of use, determination and analysis of the relevant indicators. Determination of these indicators, as well as experimental joint analysis of the data shows that the specified each of the heat insulators has its own indicators. In particular, penoplex has the lowest thermal conductivity coefficient, therefore the best thermal properties, and mineral wool, compared other studied materials, from the production stage to the material neutralization, the smallest of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) consider. Consequently, the latter has a negative impact on the environment. the impact index is the lowest.
