Aerogel is a superinsulating material that can make building walls more energy-efficient. Researchers compared different ways of using aerogel in walls and found that aerogel fibrous composites (AFC) are the most cost-effective option, saving about 50% compared to other forms. Adding a 20 mm layer of aerogel to a wall can improve insulation by 46-53.5%, with AFC showing the best results. This means using AFC can save money and make buildings more energy-efficient.
