Definition and purpose of insulation

Insulation is a material or combination of materials that is used to provide resistance or protection against heat transfer, electricity, or sound. Insulation is important in protecting against heat transfer and maintaining a stable temperature in ships, buildings, and the place being insulated. Insulation creates a barrier between transmitting heat, moisture, sound, shock, and electricity and the object being insulated.

Importance in energy efficiency and comfort

Importance in energy efficiency and comfort

Insulation is important for energy efficiency as it prevents heat loss in winter and keeps the insulated equipment or place cool during summer. Insulation is also essential due to its sustainability in reducing carbon footprint.
