Detailed Building Energy Impact Analysis of XPS Insulation Degradation Using Existing Long-Term Experimental Data

This study investigates the long-term impact of insulation degradation on building heating energy consumption, with a focus on extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation. Year-by-year degradation in thermal transmittance was derived from long-term experimental data and applied to prototypical energy mode...
