Aerogel

Hi guys!

Do you realize that we used a lot of energy?

The need for energy conservation has never been greater and its cost continually on the rise. It is estimated that 40% of our energy is used controlling the temperature in buildings. But, still 30% of this energy escapes from the building through insulated walls metal or wood studs in a process termed Thermal Bridging.

So, NASA has developed latest insulation technology called Aerogel which is the highest insulating material in existence!

This means that the technology has the potential to revolutionize energy conservation.

NASA has been developing Aerogel insulation technology for several years, using it on the space shuttle, space suits, and for many other advanced insulation requirements, including the last Mars mission.
