Building application and thermal performance of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) in Canadian subarctic climate
Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have thermal resistance values, at the center of the panel, up to 10 times or more than those of conventional thermal insulation materials. In Canada, known for its predominantly extreme cold climate, the potential to apply VIPs in the building construction industry i...
