Abstract:Loose-fill thermal insulations in timber-frame structures are designed to provide efficient thermal protection with the ability to fill intricate details. In a previous study, we detected several air cavities formed in timber-framed wall samples filled with loose-fill mineral fiber insulation. This discovery led us to retrofit the walls by adding appropriate insulation, thus enabling us to evaluate the importance of proper amendment. This paper focuses on a wall fragment with an 80 mm high air gap at the top a… Show more
