DOI: 10.1177/1420326x221082467
Abstract: In external building walls, air cavities are occasionally used to reduce heat losses. Closed air cavities improve the thermal resistance of building structures, especially when the inner surfaces of the cavities are covered with low-emissivity… read more here.
