Benefits of technology

The patent is for a building insulation system that includes a reflective bag filled with insulation material. The covering of the bag is made of a reflective polymeric material that helps to reflect thermal energy. This reflective material helps to prevent the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a highly efficient insulation system for buildings that can help to save energy and improve energy efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Typical building insulation does not have the capacity to provide the full range of thermal barriers against different sources of thermal energy.
As a consequence, these inefficiencies contribute to the high costs of heating and cooling a building.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The building insulation system, generally referred to by the reference number 10, is configured to provide a thermal break for all three forms of thermal energy in a domicile or building. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the building insulation system 10 includes a reflective, non-porous bag 20 filled with insulation material 24.

[0017]In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the covering 22 for the non-porous bag 20 can be made from a reflective polymeric facer or plastic, e.g., polyester or other polymeric sheet material with reflective metal mixed therein, similar to Mylar (Mylar is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del.). The covering 22 completely encapsulates both opposing faces, both opposing sides, and both opposing ends of the bag 20 to provide a non-porous barrier that reflects thermal energy from the surface facing the outer wall or siding, i.e., the surface facing the environment, and also reflects thermal energy from the interior of...

Abstract

The building insulation system includes a reflective, non-porous bag filled with thermal insulation material. The covering of the bag is made from reflective polymeric facer or plastic, which facilitates reflection of thermal energy radiation. The reflective non-porous bag provides a thermal barrier for conduction, convection and radiation aspects of thermal energy transfer.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 548,099, filed Oct. 17, 2011.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to building construction systems, and particularly to a building insulation system that provides improved insulation for maintaining more moderate temperatures and reducing energy costs.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Typical building insulation does not have the capacity to provide the full range of thermal barriers against different sources of thermal energy. For insulation to perform as well as possible, the insulation should be able to cope with three forms of thermal transfer, viz.; conduction, convection and radiation. The national and worldwide R-values for insulation are generally based upon only one form of heat transfer, viz., conduction. However, conduction only represents about 10% of the total thermal forces...
