Insulation 3Ht
Insulation 3Ht is a cost effective and efficient insulation system which addresses all mechanisms of heat transfer. In one product, Insulation 3Ht is an air and vapor barrier, a radiant barrier and an insulator.
- Insulation 3Ht is lightweight, non-toxic and easy to install. It does not irritate the skin and requires no special equipment or clothing.
- Insulation 3Ht eliminates cold and hot spots in any building.
- Insulation 3Ht helps distribute heat evenly; consequently, buildings are more comfortable at lower room temperatures.
- Insulation 3Ht allows thermostats to be set 2 to 4 degrees lower than buildings which utilize conventional insulation products. This results in added comfort with less heat-loss (winter) or heat-gain (summer) i.e. Greater Energy Savings.
- Insulation 3Ht virtually eliminates moisture and air infiltration.
- Insulation 3Ht reflects radiant energy back to its source. This allows buildings to be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- Insulation 3Ht is an effective stand-alone insulation product or may be combined with other insulation products.
- INSULATION 3Ht is available in panels/boards, rolls and accordion fold.
- Insulation 3Ht is the ultimate way to keep your home or building comfortable and energy efficient.
Insulation 3Ht is available in a wide variety of sizes and thicknesses.

By using INSULATION 3Ht you can stop thermal transfer through the wood or steel frame of the exterior walls.
Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
There are three mechanisms of heat transfer - conduction, convection and radiation.
is the transfer of energy through matter. It is most effective in solids, but can happen in fluids. Example: hot element on a stove.
In building assemblies heat transfer by conduction occurs through cavity insulation, framing members, interior and exterior sheathing.
is energy transferred by infrared waves through space. Examples: heat from the sun or warmth from a campfire. Radiation penetrates solid surfaces such as shingles, wood and concrete. During the winter, typically 50-75% of heat loss in buildings is a result of radiation and 93% of the heat gain in the summer is radiant.
In the summer once a building’s walls, roof and attic have reached their capacity for holding heat, the heat is then radiated to the cooler interior area of the building. In the winter, the opposite occurs. The heat from the inside of the building moves towards the cold air outside the building.

Comparing Building Thermal Efficiency
There are six elements that must be accounted for when measuring a building’s long-term thermal efficiency.
The effective use of thermal insulation in buildings is a relatively recent development. In reality, present-day minimum insulation standards represent only an intermediate step towards truly low-carbon foot print buildings. Proposed new insulation performance standards and design solutions are decisions that will have a long-term impact on the performance of any building.
For most buildings, reduced energy use is generally the single most obvious economic benefit. Today, more than ever, minimizing energy consumption is a priority. Energy efficient buildings commonly use less than half as much energy as their conventional counterparts, with some buildings consuming less than a quarter as much energy.
