Leading heat reflective insulation manufacturer Air-Cell has won the silver medal at the Gaia Architecture Awards in Dubai for its Air-Cell Insulbreak product line. Just as we’d expect, you’re probably wondering what the Gaia Awards are and why this meritocracy is something to be praised. Well, the Gaia Awards were introduced to reward the efforts of companies that have provided viable solutions to reduce their impact on the environment.

In addition, Kingspan’s technical director – Keith Anderson – states that the use of this type of heat-reflective insulation reduces the amount of material required in the construction process, while saving energy and adapting to Dubai’s severe temperature conditions of 46 degrees Celsius during the day.

“Apart from the benefit of reducing energy consumption, this type of insulation also makes a significant contribution to transport and freight handling emissions. This is because, compared to conventional insulation, heat-reflective insulation has a low volume with an ultra-thin profile” (Keith Anderson, Air-Cell)

From the point of view of chemical composition, it should be noted that reflective thermal insulation is a non-allergenic product in the manufacture of which water, formaldehyde, isocyanates or other volatile organic compounds are not used.

In terms of use, it is recommended for a wide range of applications such as residential buildings, commercial warehouses, offices, factories, halls. Used as recommended, it will significantly reduce energy consumption by reflecting up to 97% of thermal radiation.

In short, we are talking about a single product, 3 major benefits: reflective thermal insulation, vapor barrier and energy efficiency. Together, these features not only reduce the carbon emissions associated with the energy required for cooling and heating, but also save time and materials needed in the construction process.

Over time, reflective insulation has made a significant contribution in terms of innovation in construction.You can find more information here: https://www.spec-net.com.au/press/1208/aci_031208/Insulbreakreg-by-Air-Cell-Insulation-wins-environmental-award-in-Dubai
