New Aerospace Technology, "Aerogel", the Highest Insulating material in
existence, now available to the Building Industry
(Tampa, Florida) With energy costs continually on the rise and taking its toll on the world population and the environment, the need for energy conservation has never been greater. It is estimated that 40% of our energy is used controlling the temperature in buildings. Of this, over 30% escapes from the building primarily through the conventionally insulated walls metal or wood studs in a process termed Thermal Bridging.
