Protecting the environment, preserving our natural resources, and conserving energy are becoming increasingly important. The use of insulation materials and building materials with low thermal conductivity values essentially helps us achieve these goals. These materials help prevent the internal temperature of the building from approaching the external temperature, thereby minimizing energy loss in the building to the greatest extent possible. In this way, the energy required to heat or cool the interior of the building can be greatly reduced.
The thermal conductivity coefficient (lambda, λ) is the characteristic of material thermal conductivity, expressed in W/(m · K) (watts per meter x Kelvin). The lower the thermal conductivity of the material, the better its insulation performance.
The TAURUS product series mainly focuses on measuring the thermal conductivity and insulation performance of buildings, building materials, and insulation materials.
