It is common sense to block as much heat transfer as possible through air seeping or having a house change temperature making it uncomfortable inside. All new energy efficient houses go a step further put emphasis on radiation for creating an optimal, affordable living environment. In the following posts, we will further discuss how technological breakthroughs have created materials specifically designed to deal with radiation. The materials have served to make life in space possible while also making life in your home easier and more comfortable.
