The Impact of Variable Thermal Conductivity of Insulation Materials on the Building Energy Performance in Hot Climate

This paper illustrates the impact of embedding an insulation layer of variable thermal conductivity in a typical building wall on the cooling effect and energy performance. The evaluation was performed by applying a conjugate heat transfer model, which was tested in extremely hot conditions of Al Ai...
