Maximising Energy Efficiency in Residential Design
Maximising Energy Efficiency in Residential Design Things we know: Thermal Facts
Thicker insulation will reduce the transmission of heat energy compared with thinner insulation
Thermally massive materials will store more heat than less thermally massive materials
A longer wall facing the north will achieve greater direct solar gain than a shorter wall
Maximising Energy Efficiency in Residential Design More square metres of building fabric will lose more heat in winter than less square metres of building fabric
Darker colours convert light to heat energy more efficiently than lighter colours
Reflective finishes emit less than matt finishes
Translucent or transparent materials can allow the ingress of short wave radiation for conversion to heat
