3. Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for functionalized buildings
The – single or double – building envelope is both a place of insulation and a place of material and energy exchange. Innovations in the use of NM and NT will play a role in both.
3.1 Nanostructured superinsulating envelope
The first lever that can be used to limit unwanted heat transfer is, of course, the thermal conductivity λ of the materials used in the building envelope. This property is defined on the basis of Fourier's law relating heat flux density, i.e. the amount of heat passing per second through a one-square-meter section of the material, Q(J.m –2 .s –1 ), to the temperature gradient dT / dz (K.m –1 ) across this...
