A review on modern heat-insulating materials for improving the energy efficiency of buildings and life-support utilities

Abstract

The main heat engineering characteristics of modern traditional and innovative heat-insulating materials, their advantages, and application fields are considered. Particular attention is paid to liquidceramic heat-insulating materials - thermal paints, which are now actively used for thermal insulation of facades of capital and completed construction projects, engineering and technical life support systems, installations, and separate elements. Interest in the study of this group of building materials is explained by the widespread use of heaters to improve the energy efficiency of civil and industrial buildings, as well as engineering life support systems for various purposes.
