The following terms are taken from the ISO, CEN and NF standards cited in [Doc BE 9 859].
Thermal insulation system: a combination of two or more components, at least one of which is an insulating product or material. The performance of the system is the performance of the whole.
Thermal insulation: a material, product or system whose presence reduces heat transfer through the wall on, or in, which it is placed. It is characterized by its surface thermal resistance (expressed in m2 · K · W –1).
quantitative limits can only be established if applications are defined. By convention, we consider that a material, product or system intended for the building sector can be defined as thermal insulation if the ratio of its thickness to its surface thermal resistance is...
