Thermal protection

insulation against heat transfer

construction element consisting of at least two glass plates for windows and other glazing

area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials

protection of buildings against heat transfers

thermal insulation

Thermal barrier coating

building material that expands and cures to form a polyurethane foam

measure of how well an object, per unit of area, resists conductive flow of heat

thumb|300px|The passivhaus standard combines superinsulation with other techniques and technologies to achieve ultra-low energy use. Superinsulation is an approach to building design, construction, and retrofitting that dramatically reduces heat loss (and gain) by using much higher insulation levels and airtightness than average. Superinsulation is one of the ancestors of the passive house approach.
