Badarnah, L., & Fernandez, J. (2015). Morphological configurations inspired by nature for thermal insulation materials

Cooling and heating of buildings account for a significant part of the global energy consumption, where different insulation materials are applied for energy conservation. With the increasing need to reduce energy demands, developing new energy effic... Read More about Morphological configurations inspired by nature for thermal insulation materials.
