Abstract

Present paper aims at evaluating benefits relating to different solutions of thermal insulation in building envelope. In fact a high grade of insulation ensures better comfort conditions in inner spaces, reducing energy consumptions due to heating and cooling conditioning. The paper presents the results of a detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a specific reflective foil, conceived and produced by an Italian company. The results of the analysis allow to make an important comparison concerning the environmental performances, between the reflective foil and other types of insulating materials.
