text: For our purposes, we’re going to talk about thermal insulation, which reduces heat transfer between objects by either reflecting thermal radiation or decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other (more on this in a moment).
text: Thermal insulation reduces the heat exchange through the building envelope, which allows the heating and cooling machines to achieve the same indoor air temperature with less energy input.
