For years, many have relied on radiant barriers to boost the energy efficiency of buildings. Yet, there are still numerous misconceptions about how radiant barriers works, how easy it is installing a radiant barrier and the benefits they bring. In part 1 of this blog, we will dispel some of the most common myths about […]
Radiant barriers are an effective way to reduce heat transfer and improve the energy efficiency of a building. The reflective components of this material create a barrier that prevents the transfer of heat. In effect, this keeps surfaces cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. As a result, this reduces the amount of
Energy savings may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about RF / RFID shielding reflective bubble and radiant barrier, but it can be a real game-changer. Reflective insulation is a type of insulation that uses reflective material to redirect heat back to its source. This makes it a popular choice

INTRODUCTION RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology is a popular method for tracking inventory in a variety of industries. In fact, several retail companies recently installed this technology to help save them time and money. RFID tags are attached to items and scanned by RFID readers, providing real-time inventory data. One of the challenges of RFID systems

Reflective foam (also known as reflective foam core or foam board insulation), is typically made from a foam core that is coated with reflective materials, such as aluminum foil. The reflective coating creates a barrier to radiant heat, reducing heat transfer and improving the energy efficiency of a building. The foam core provides additional insulation
The temperature of an attic is an important factor to consider when it comes to the overall energy efficiency and comfort of a home. An attic that is too hot or too cold can have a significant impact on the rest of the house, causing discomfort and increasing energy costs. Studies have shown that installing

What is a SCIF? SCIF stands for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. Engineers design SCIFs to secure and protect highly classified information from unauthorized access by blocking radio frequency interference, electronic surveillance, and physical surveillance. SCIFs can be found in various settings such as government buildings, private residences, hotel rooms, aircraft and ships. In some cases, an

Understanding the purpose and limitations of house wrap will help in understanding the control layers in a wall. As a water resistive barrier (WRB), it keeps the exterior elements (liquid water) from penetrating the wall cavity. What is the Purpose of a House Wrap? House wrap is a type of building material used to cover
What Is Insulation? Insulation serves as a material that reduces the transfer of heat, sound, or electricity. Whether you are constructing a new building or renovating an existing structure, there are many types of insulation to choose from. Quality insulation should maximize energy savings and reduce the transfer of heat in order to combat temperature

In general, the use of a radiant barrier can lead to energy cost savings in both heating and cooling seasons. In the summer, a radiant barrier helps reduce the amount of heat transferred into a building, which will reduce the amount of energy needed for air conditioning. Likewise, in the winter, a radiant barrier helps
