Analysis of different building exterior walls insulations using eQUEST

In this paper, eQUEST simulation tool is used to study of the effect of varying the insulation type (polysterene, polyurethane, and polyisocyanurate) and thickness on heat space energy consumption. Different thicknesses have been used in three scenarios for each type of insulation material, small, m...
