Smart Insulation
Smart Insulation is a type of building material that can change how it works depending on what is happening inside or outside a building. This insulation can react to temperature, moisture, or sunlight by opening or closing tiny pores, changing thickness, or shifting its structure to keep rooms comfortable and save energy. Some smart insulation uses tiny capsules filled with special liquids that melt or freeze to store or release heat, helping to keep indoor temperatures steady. These features help buildings use less heating and cooling, which can lower energy bills and make indoor spaces more comfortable for people.
