Abstract:
Energy consumption, specifically in the building sector, is always increasing. One potential way to reduce energy consumption, is to reduce the heat loss in buildings or homes. Silica aerogels have grown in popularity as an insulating material due to their extremely low thermal conductivity. Very often the benefits of transparency as well as strength is ignored due to its brittleness. An effort has been taken to increasing the strength using vacuum seal while maintaining their transparency. To understand the benefits of using silica aerogels as a replacement of glass window or wall in buildings, experimentally validation was carried out in terms of transparency and strength. The heat simulations were performed on the sealed and unsealed aerogel using the Multiphysics software ANSYS Workbench 2023 R2. The simulations helped predict the actual saving benefits of using aerogels as an insulator. Overall, the use of aerogels in the building sector has great potential for energy savings and can be a significant contribution to sustainable building design .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
