Three-dimensional analysis of thermal resistance of exterior basement insulation systems (EIBS)

A consortium11The consortium included the Expanded Polystyrene Association of Canada, the Canadian Urethane Foam Contractors Association, Owens Corning Inc. and Roxul Inc. research project was initiated to determine the field performance of various thermal insulation products as applied in the exterior insulation basement system (EIBS). Initially a two-dimensional (2-D) analytical tool was used to derive the thermal transmission characteristics …
