The control of heat and noise by containment or exclusion has important economic as well as environmental justifications. Thermal and Acoustic Insulation discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of insulation materials, covering the properties and applications of virtually all organic and inorganic materials currently marketed. Complex mathematical treatments necessary to insulation measurement calculations are made easy by the inclusion of numerous computer programs. Topics considered include general aspects of thermal insulation; wall, floor and roof insulation; insulation and condensation; nature and properties of inorganic insulation materials; organic high void insulation materials; glass and glazing; thermal insulation for industry; insulation against noise; the use of a computer for insulation calculations; and fire properties of insulation materials.
