| Abstract: | The property of low thermal transmission
of small air gap between the constituents of
combine material has been utilized to obtain
energy efficient wall section. The paper describes
the method to determine coefficient of overall
thermal transmittance of combine materials with
and without air gap. The combine section mainly
consists of cement concrete, polycrete, PVC sheet,
polyurethane foam, expanded polystyrene and air
gap. Effect of air gap on thermal insulation of wall
has been determined. Results of the study show
that 38 mm air gap between polycrete slabs gives
the lower value of over all thermal transmittance
which satisfies the minimum requirement of wall to
maintain indoor temperature between 2-160C in a
room as per code IS: 661. |
