Advancing the Thermal Insulation Performance of Australian Roofing Systems

为了减少房屋对环境的影响，州政府已经强制要求建筑物的能源效率。 这项研究将为建筑物中的隔热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，住宅建筑的高峰电力需求将减少，从而减少了对电力基础设施升级的需求。 该研究将使建筑行业开发更具成本效益的隔热解决方案，并增加隔热行业的就业机会。

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.
