Advancing the Thermal Insulation Performance of Australian Roofing Systems

为了减少房屋对环境的影响，州政府强制要求对建筑的能效提出性能要求。这项研究将为建筑保温的应用开发先进的设计技术，提高其性能。这将提高新建筑的效率，减少澳大利亚的温室气体排放。此外，住宅楼宇的峰值电力需求将会减少，从而减少升级我们的电力基础设施的需要。这项研究将使建筑行业能够开发出更具成本效益的绝缘解决方案，并增加绝缘行业的就业。

To reduce the environmental impact of houses, state governments have mandated performance requirements on the energy efficiency of buildings. This research will develop advanced design techniques for the application of insulation in buildings, improving their performance. This will increase the effficiency of new buildings reducing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the peak power demand from residential buildings will reduce, decreasing the need to upgrade our electrical infrastructure. The research will enable more cost effective insulation solutions to be developed in the building industry and increase employment in the insulation industry.
