Homes in hot and cold climates could save big on energy costs with new insulation techniques.
This article discusses how different types of wall materials affect the energy efficiency of buildings in regions with hot summers and cold winters. The researchers compared various energy-saving wall materials, evaluated them using a national system, and looked at the pros and cons of different energy-efficient wall structures. They found that external wall insulation has some technical drawbacks compared to internal and middle wall insulation. This information is important for improving the energy efficiency of buildings in areas with hot summers and cold winters.
