SRS Finlay Energy Saving Buildings: Usage of Thermal Blocks in Walls

Mumbai : The continuing need to conserve energy has resulted in mandated requirements for the thermal performance of construction. Since it is impractical to measure all buildings or building components and systems for thermal properties, simple and accurate methods to reliably predict thermal performance are necessary. Design professionals must estimate the energy requirements associated with all types of building systems, including masonry, to select appropriate systems and to provide for economical heating and cooling design.

Building design and material properties influence thermal performance and energy consumption for residential and commercial buildings. Insulated wall, floor and roof systems provide an innovative combination of excellent thermal conductivity, thermal mass and low air-infiltration. This practical combination of properties in one system provides an excellent thermal insulation material and permits peak energy usage in the building to be shifted to off-peak hours, thus reducing operation cost for building users and owners, improving comfort of living and reducing the demand on power generation facilities. One can look at Substantial reduction in air conditioning tonnage and huge savings in monthly electricity bills up to 40%. It is very economical for centrally air-conditioned buildings, public utility structures, government buildings, schools, hospitals, theatres, shopping complexes, and so on.
