Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional thermal insulation boards often compromise temperature balancing between the interior and exterior of structures, failing to effectively manage heat entry and exit, especially in warm environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If conventional thermal insulation boards are used, then heat insulation is provided, but temperature balancing between interior and exterior deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The insulation board is segmented into multiple layers with different material properties. The first layer (outer layer) has higher thermal conductivity to facilitate heat dissipation during the day, while the second layer (inner layer) has lower thermal conductivity to maintain thermal balance. This segmentation allows the board to perform both heat insulation and temperature balancing functions simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the insulation board have different thermal conductivity properties. The outer layer is designed with locally higher thermal conductivity to handle daytime heat loads, while the inner layer maintains lower thermal conductivity for thermal balance. This local quality variation enables the board to address both heat insulation and temperature balancing requirements in different spatial zones.
